The Mosaic Templars Cultural
Center invites you to explore Arkansas's African American
history, life, and culture in our new, state-of-the-art museum. Walk
down Ninth
Street and learn about black-owned businesses, explore the
legacy of the Mosaic
Templars of America, and learn more about black legislators in
the 1890s. Listen to firsthand accounts of life in the segregated South
from the people who lived the experience. Visit the Third Floor
Auditorium and explore the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame.
The museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving,
interpreting, and celebrating African American history, culture and
community in Arkansas from 1870 to the present, and informs and
educates the public about black achievements – especially in business,
politics and the arts. Through special
events, education
programs, and ongoing
research, the museum celebrates African American heritage in
Arkansas.
The Museum Store is an excellent source
for African American art, books, and collectibles. The selection
includes hundreds of children's picture books and chapter books on
African American themes.
