This traveling exhibit tells the story of the 85 African Americans who served in the Arkansas General Assembly in the 19th century. After the Civil War, Arkansas adopted a new constitution in 1868 and its provisions included the right to vote and hold public office for black males. African American lawyers, merchants, ministers, educators, farmers, and other professionals served in the Arkansas General Assembly. Photographs of forty-six of the eighty-five legislators are an integral part of the display. This exhibit is produced by the Arkansas History Commission and Black History Commission of Arkansas

In addition, the North Little Rock History Commission displays exhibits of the city's black history.
