Inscription. This plaque is dedicated in memorial to these ladies and gentlemen who, over 50 years ago, kept this community together through their concern, time, and hard work. We congratulate each of them for their effort in spite of trying circumstances.
The work of these community leaders created a neighborhood for homes and families. This neighborhood has produced many community leaders including Arkansas's first African-American State Senate Majority Leader, Tracy Steele
