Formatted as a coloring book, Arkansas African American History Makers is a project which was coordinated by the Arkansas Martin Luther Jr. Commission. The purpose of the resource is to educate youth about the accomplishments of some important Arkansans. Twenty different African American history makers are highlighted in the fields of sports, music, business, education and government. This project is an ongoing educational process that will feature many different history makers over time.
Butler Center lesson plans are made possible with funding from the Charles M. & Joan R. Taylor Foundation and from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.
