The 1955 Hoxie School desegregation was the focus of a 56-year commemorative celebration held Saturday at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center in Little Rock.
The echoing theme of the event was to honor the courage of the students, families and community involved in the Hoxie desegregation and to raise awareness of its historical significance.
The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is a museum of African-American history with a mission to help educate the public about that history, such as the Hoxie School desegregation.
