author Phyllis Hodges will discuss her book, “8 Years of Unforgettable History:
the Allure of America’s Firsts,” 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at the Department
of Arkansas Heritage at 1100 North St.
“This topic is important because most people don't realize
how many Arkansans are world renowned,” Hodges said.
Hodges' lecture will focus on Arkansans who broke down barriers and became history-makers. The book is about “present history,” Hodges said, and includes people of all backgrounds. The book includes Arkansans like Jeff Henderson, who won a Gold Medal in Long Jump at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

“My history book is unique,” Hodges said. “It’s a living history
book – all the individuals I write about are alive and well.”
