Arkansas -Day 3

You might be asking yourself why we want to DRIVE all the way to Seattle. Well, we wanted to see family who live in many different states. So driving was actually cheaper than flying to the different spots. And we get to see states that we haven't been too before. Like Arkansas. Why would you ever go to Arkansas? Well, so you can check it off your list. And there are some neat things to see there.

Little Rock. Stopping at Central High School was a moving experience. This is where "The Little Rock Nine" (African-American students) were first integrated into a white school. It is hard to believe that it was only 50 years ago that we started to end segregation. I wonder how our grandparents felt about it then? And how do they feel now?

Just outside of Fort Smith, Arkansas is the location that Parley P. Pratt, early apostle to the Church, is buried. He was serving a mission in Arkansas when he was killed. Clay has read his biography and wanted to see this little known church history site.
