AHC Unveils New Women’s History Guide
Most of us know that Arkansas has had a long and unique
history. Many people don’t always realize that Arkansas women, in particular,
have had an equally unique and compelling past. They have, in fact, been
political ground breakers and leaders in breaking the glass ceiling in the
fight for equal rights.
The AHC Celebrates the Legacy of a Female Arkansan
This month we celebrate the role that women have played in
the history of Arkansas. Arkansas has had many examples of women who have been
leaders in important social and political movements. In fact, Arkansas had one
of the first female mayors, Maud Duncan, in the United States.
Treasures from the Attic
Each month, the AHC highlights an archival document,
photograph or an artifact from the personal collection of an AHC staff member.
This month we feature a butter press owned by Archival Technician John
Freshour.

February was a very busy month for African American History
Coordinator Tatyana Oyinloye and the Black History Commission of Arkansas as we
were traveling the state promoting African American history. Since February was
Black History Month, we were in great demand.
