The AHC Bids a Fond Farewell to Richard Davies

At the end of November, the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism  (ADPT) will lose its long-time Executive  Director when  Richard  Davies  retires.   For Davies, it has been a long and fruitful tenure.  Davies graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1972 with a
journalism degree.  His writing skills served him well when he became administrative  assistant to Bill Henderson, director of the ADPT.  Parks were already in the  Davies blood line.   His grandfather was the first director of Arkansas State Parks and his father had
worked on Petit Jean State Park. 

Agricultural History Highlighted in New Digital Collection

“Let us view Arkansas of the present.  Let us go out into the ripening orchards, the green fields, the grassy meadows, and, if you will, among the herds and flocks, and see what advanced agriculture and the two-horse plow have brought to one of the greatest farming States in the Union.” So begins a pamphlet published by the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain titled, “The Homebuilder in Arkansas,” designed to attract farmers to Arkansas. The AHC is lucky to have a wide range of resources for those wanting to study the history of agriculture in the state.

The Augustine ‘Gus’ Fredrich Collection

Augustine Fredrich was a salesman  for  the  Nabisco company  when  he  was  drafted  into  the  army  in  1944.  When Gus left for the war, his wife, Barbara “Bob” Fredrich, was  pregnant.    Since he had a family already,  he was drafted as a non-combatant.  He trained in Mississippi and then went to Europe. He served throughout the remainder of the war,  ending  his  service  in  September  1945 overseeing refugee camps in Augsburg, Germany.  After the war, Gus returned to his family in Little Rock to resume his career as a salesman for Nabisco.

Wednesday's Wonderful Collection - Women's Emergency Committee records, MG.00496

The Women's Emergency Committee to Open Our Schools was formed in Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1958. It was established in response to the closing of Little Rock's four public high schools by Governor Orval Faubus. The organization was founded by a group of women led by Adolphine Fletcher Terry, a member of a prominent Little Rock family. Mrs. Terry, Vivion Brewer, and Mrs. J.O. Powell organized the first meeting, which fifty-eight women attended. The stated purpose of the Committee was to inform the people of Little Rock, and Arkansas, of the need for public education and of the price of not having public schools. After the schools were reopened in September 1959, the name was changed to the Women's Emergency Committee (WEC). The membership of the WEC eventually grew to over 1600 women. In the five years of its existence, the WEC opposed Governor Faubus and his forces on numerous occasions. The most successful confrontations for the WEC were the Little Rock School Board recall election in May 1959, in which three Faubus-supported segregationists were removed from the board, and the defeat of Amendment 52, which would have abolished the constitutional guarantee of free public schools, in November 1960. The WEC was also involved in school board and political contests through much of its history, principally the Joe Hardin-Faubus race in 1960 and the Sid McMath-Faubus race in 1962.

This collection contains correspondence, membership lists, information on other organizations interested in maintaining public schools, and other material related particularly to the issues of public education, civil and voting rights, and the economic effect of the school crisis. Additionally, there are booklets, pamphlets, magazines, and newspapers concerning these important issues of the time period.
