June 6th Event: The Roots of African American Foodways

The Black History Commission of Arkansas and the Arkansas History Commission will be hosting a symposium from 10 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, at the Pulaski Technical College Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Institute in Little Rock. The symposium’s theme, “The Roots of African American Foodways,” will feature award-winning food and nutrition journalist, Toni Tipton-Martin; historian and author, Dr. Cindy Grisham; Executive Chef Evette Brady and Chef Tim Morton from 1620 Savoy in Little Rock; and BHCA Commissioner Joyce Gibson.
 

Topics will include The Jemima Code: A Modern Look into the Recipe Files of America’s Great Cooks, Organic, Wild Harvesting, Heirloom Vegetables and Meats: Trends or Tradition?, and To Protect and Serve: an Apron Collection. Chefs Brady and Morton will use traditional African American foods, incorporating Caribbean, Cuban, African, and other ethnic influences on modern African American foodways, into a cooking demonstration that will bring all the research elements presented during the day to a tasty conclusion.

The event will also feature a scanning booth.  Participants are invited to bring in material pertaining to African American foodways for digitization, including recipes, menus, photographs, and documents.  An AHC archivist will scan and save to CDs copies of scanned material for the participants, who will be asked to share the digital copies with the History Commission for research, exhibits and publication.
 

The seminar is free but registration is required. Check-in will begin at 9:00 a.m.  Teachers can earn up to four professional development hours through attendance. Lunch prepared by the Culinary Institute chefs will be provided for symposium participants at no charge.  Registration is limited and deadline for registration will be June 1, so be sure to make reservations soon.

For more information about the symposium or to register, contact us at history.commission@arkansas.gov or call us at 501-682-6892.

This project is funded in part by a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council, the Department of Arkansas Heritage, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The AHC Commemorates Its 110th Anniversary

On April 27 the State Archives will celebrate its 110th anniversary with, among other events, an open house from 10 a.m. until noon. Displays in our exhibit space and in the research room will feature historical “gems” from our collections, and the unveiling of an Arkansas photographic mural, and birthday cake will round out the occasion. Join us!

The AHC Highlights the Importance of the Gulley Collection

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or so goes the saying.  In some cases, this is literally true.  In the early part

of the twentieth century, the state’s government offices were moving to the new capitol building from their former homes in what would be later called the

Old State House.  While packing material to move, workers earmarked old records for shipment to Saint Louis for recycling.   

Clara Bertha Eno

The AHC has had a number of prominent commissioners over the years.  One of the first commissioners, and one to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, is Clara Bertha Eno. 

Eno was born in Van Buren in 1854.  One of her earliest memories was of helping her mother care for wounded Confederate soldiers during the Battle of Van Buren in the Civil War.

Black History Commission News

For years historians worried that the history  of  Arkansas’  African American community would be lost unless there was a concerted focus to  collect  and  preserve  historic material.  In  1991,  State  Senator Jerry  Jewell sponsored  Senate Bill 710 establishing the Arkansas Black History Advisory Committee charged with the responsibility of preserving African American history.

AHC's 110th Anniversary Celebration

This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Arkansas History Commission and State Archives. The Arkansas History Commission was created during the 1905 session of the Arkansas General Assembly for the purpose of collecting and preserving Arkansas’s significant wealth of historic material.

In celebration of this milestone, the History Commission will host an open house and anniversary commemoration on Monday, April 27 from 10 a.m. until noon. Members of the general public are invited to visit the research room at 1 Capitol Mall, view some of the state’s most significant historical documents, including Arkansas’s original state constitutions, preview an exhibit on the agency’s history, and meet the staff to learn more about how the History Commission has been a vital part of preserving Arkansas history for well over a century.

The Arkansas History Commission is located at 1 Capitol Mall on the second floor of the Multi Agency Complex Building behind the Arkansas State Capitol building.

Gus Caple was born January 16, 1893, in Saline County, Arkansas, the son of Frank and Lela Rowland Caple. At age 19 he moved to Little Rock and began work for the Hays Grain and Commission Company. Except for service in World War I, he operated a grain brokerage business from 1916 through 1930. His career also included representing Marquette Cement Company and selling automobiles and insurance. He served one term in the Arkansas House of Representatives before becoming Pulaski County Sheriff in 1940. During his three terms as sheriff, he was president of both the Arkansas and National Sheriffs' Associations. He did not seek a fourth term as sheriff. After leaving office, Caple owned the Caple Tractor Company which he sold in 1961.

Caple was a member of Trinity Methodist Church in North Little Rock, Arkansas, the M.M. Eberts American Legion Post 1, the Little Rock Lions Club, of which he served as president, and the Scimitar Shrine Temple. He died on June 28, 1981, at the age of 88. He is buried at Roselawn Memorial Park.

This collection consists mainly of a scrapbook compiled during Caple's tenure as Pulaski County Sheriff, and papers relating to the Methodist Church, Lions Clubs, and Sheriffs' Associations.
