intricate intoy the politics of arkansas, the education in arkansas, national policy that was being driven by senator fulbright. had taken fulbright the position that force is not going to cause people to love each other, or to tolerate each other. what is going to get them to ,hat point is education education, and superior education. what needs to be done is that the black schools all to be equal, not just separate, but equal, and they are not. you're not going to be able to oute this issue and come with any end you would be happy with. >> david lambert ended up being on the board of the world food organization. their effort was to make sure children do not starve to death. are exalted efforts from folks that are arkansas-based. jones was the first african-american female to graduate from the university of arkansas medical school. a wonderful person. was also great. the overriding thing about these interviews is they believe in doing the right thing. in the american way. thatu wonder why is it poor, less well-educated children get into more trouble? it is because of education. we know how

senator from arkansas. and the state of arkansas does have a unique distinction in that some of our smaller school districts embraced integration right after the 1954 and brown v. board but as of 1957 and 1958 with the little rock crisis the state has come to an understanding the white majority was opposed to integration, especially in the way it looked like it was having with federal enter generalization, national guard troops and all of that. so physical bright made a political calculation. over here is writing he did to help shape the southern manifesto in a different way. in a way you could think of this as caveats. so he is softening the manifesto, didn't what it to be about racial equality or racial inequality. wanted to just to be about federal intergeneralization and opposing force integration. we're looking at a photograph from our picture collection at the university of arkansas library of special collections. it and documents what former for raise you're back fans is one of this more important ev

carter went on to win 65% of the arkansas vote that year. and the time bill was running the arkansas carter campaign, it hillary went to indiana and ran the carter campaign there and .elped set up campaign offices their lives were very much about political campaigns and working on behalf of democrats across the country. bill became the attorney general rather easily in 1976 and two years later would become the country's youngest governor in 1978. when bill and hillary were married, hillary kept her maiden which would've been unusual in 1975 and arkansas of course but even across the country. she really kept her look and she wore glasses and no makeup and natural hair, that kind of thing. after bill lost his second term as governor in 1980, the two of them really regrouped. you see at the beginning of the 1980's her transformation and his transformation politically, thinking about what the people needed most and her transformation into what arkansas would've considered in appropriate first lady. hair, startedr wearing contact lenses, started

headquarters house in fayetteville, arkansas. it is the home of the washington county historical society. they purchased the house in 1967. jonasuse was built by tebbit. he came to study law in van buren. when he was traveling the law circuit he came to fayetteville and met matilda. he and matilda winlock got married in 1847. the862 in february, confederates were being driven out of missouri and into arkansas. as they were being driven through arkansas, as they came through fayetteville, they decided to burn all of the confederate stores. where all of the food and ammo was held. basically, the soldiers ransacked the town. it is said some citizens participated also, but it was a pretty dark time for fayetteville. headquarters house was directly threatened when the fayetteville city institute, across the street, was used as an arsenal for the confederate army. they decided to set fire to it. when the building caught fire, the faulty shells that were left started to explode, endangering this house. they were able to save it. here is

the president of arkansas college lived across the street, and to the other side of him was arkansas college. arkansas college was not burned in the initial firing of fayetteville. when the confederates were on their way to pea ridge, they did burn arkansas college. tebbets was a union man, as i said before. when alexander asboth came and proclaimed that he was going to liberate fayetteville for the union and all of the union sympathizers could come out. he wanted a union flag to put on the town square. some people knew that jonas had a flag of the united states of america. they sent asboth to the house and jonas gave him a flag. they put it up on the town square. jonas also invited general asboth in to have dinner at his house and to make his house his headquarters, thinking that he was going to be here for a while. general asboth did come to a the house and dined with the tebbetts. three days later, he was called up north, leaving the town again to whichever army came through. the next army that came through was the southern army, and general ben mcculloch says his -- sent his sold

representative from or fall, arkansas area produced president of the university of arkansas, and the youngest president in the united states at the time from 1939-1949 with the department of justice. he was a rhodes scholar, distinguished graduate alum at the university of arkansas, star football player, and writer, an amazing guy. he was a very distinguished god, lots of important stuff, with lasting implications. he was the leader of international affairs. he was the longest-serving chair of the foreign relations committee, which particular during the cold war, but always in the united states and in the world. he controlled a lot of budget, the key negotiations with diplomatic policy, so he had that role. he was also a fierce advocate for the state and the people of arkansas. so as a representative he was a dynamic poetical figure appeared as u.s. senator he was was a leading figure nationally. senator fulbright gave his papers to university of arkansas and required several different agenda or additions to the collection over decades. we have a collection of those. a very large col

you did have these oases, like northwest arkansas, thrown in. one of the things that has defined the ozarks in at least the late 20th century and into the 21st century is the region did stay somewhat homogenous into the late 20th century. the region was one of the extensive places in america. it was a place that was still heavily evangelical protestant in a religious orientation. part of that stems from a shortage of economic opportunity in much of the ozarks. you do not get a lot of people moving into the ozarks. there is not a lot of dynamic, social and cultural stuff going on because there is not a lot of dynamic economics stuff so the people tend to stay the same generation after generation. i am not saying they are not modernizing, they're not driving model t's and listening to radios but ethnically and religiously and culturally, there is this tendency to stay the same over generations. by the time you get to the latter half of the 20th century, you have the preservation of old time music so the ozarks becomes a popular place for folkies i

speaker, i rise today to honor the life and lellingacy of one of arkansas -- legacy of one of arkansas' innovative leaders, my friend albert, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 94. al wert worked for over 75 years--- albert worked over 75 years with his family to make one of the most successful regional ice cream companies in the united states. it created many unique flavors such as the razorbacks ice cream, and my personal favorite, pepperment. he was an icon of arkansas business and ackor of the business community for decades. he's a past president of the chamber of commerce and served as mayor. he was inducted into the arkansas business hall of fame in 2007, and is a member of the arkansas dairy products hall of fame. he was a role model and friend to many across our station. i extend my respect, affection, and prayers to his many dear friends, family, and loved ones. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize north little rock middle school teacher dawn mclean. dawn a sixth grade science and math teacher was named a 2017-2018 recipient of the national milken educator award

fayetteville has always been and insis in the ozarks arkansas. of thearching theme trilogy, and it has been my theme for most of the books that i have done on the ozarks over years, isalmost 20 that the region is more of a microcosm of the united states as a whole than it is from isange, unique -- then it some strange, unique other that we can marvel at and look and how quaint and unusual it is. in academic terms, we use the term exceptionalism. my argument for a long time was -- inhe ozarks is not totality, it is not necessarily an exceptional place. it is special to me. it is my home. i had ancestors who showed up here 200 years ago, but i think it shares more in common with the general american historical narratives than it differs from that narrative. it is one of many regional big, broadon that american history theme. people who read it and don't know anything about the ozarks will recognize a lot of the things that we just know from american history. little version of it going on in the ozarks. our city tours staff recently traveled to faye

so arkansas had all the ingredients. i think everyone's favorites artifacts that they see is a medicine chest. and it's a medicine chest that we acquired about four years ago -- ago. it originally belonged to moses, a medicine man for buffalo bill cody, who was from the la crosse, wisconsin area, where he met buffalo bill, and for two years, he traveled with the group, taking care of the indians. we have no knowledge as to why he left this medicine chest, but it was left in a barn, it was found just a few years ago and all of the original things that he used, medicines were in the chest, and we have it on display now. and it is just phenomenal to see all the different types of things that he used for medicines. we know moses, he and his wife were both winnebago indians, but we also know from the chest that he was very well educated. the labels on the individual vials and jars are all in english. they are all in old cursive. all of the ingredients you see are all the original ingredients. none of the jars have ever been o

that's not all arkansas-based companies like arkansas heart best, murphy u.s.a., are already reaping the benefits of the new tax system with higher revenues and incomes. this is only the beginning. i believe that we will continue to see positive trends and reactions to the tax law that will help grow our economy and spur even more investment in arkansas and across the country. one provision included in the law that i believe can have an enormous impact on average arkansans is a new incentive for employers to offer paid family leave benefit to their employees. now employers can offer 12 weeks of paid tax leave. senator fischer fought to get this idea included in the bill. thanks to her vision and perseverance, families in arkansas and across the country that must need access to this type of benefit will now have that chance. this is just one more example of tax reform delivering results that will help the middle class. mr. president, i want to reiterate how well tax reform is working for my state. we are seeing growth, higher wages, and other positive benefits. employees are getting b
