Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail

Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail

The Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail was created by the Anderson Institute on Race and Ethnicity to acknowledge the sacrifices and achievements made by those who fought for racial and ethnic justice in Arkansas.

The Trail begins on the sidewalk outside the Old State House at 300 West Markham Street. New markers are added in a public ceremony each year.

In 2016, the Trail won a Diamond Award from the Arkansas Historical Association “for honoring and increasing public awareness of the freedom struggle in Arkansas.”
