J. French Hill: A Discussion of President Theodore Roosevelt and His Arkansas Connections
Thursday, June 4, 2009, 6:30 p.m.
Darragh Center, Main Library
Theodore Roosevelt’s image on Mount Rushmore reminds us that he represented a new century and a new style in presidential leadership.

His impact on Arkansas is lasting. Arkansas became the Natural State in part because of Roosevelt’s sense of stewardship of natural resources, which helped preserve vast areas of Arkansas’s land.

Join us as J. French Hill discusses Roosevelt’s visits to Arkansas and his impact on the state before, during, and after his presidency.

Reception, sponsored by Delta Trust & Bank, will follow. RSVP to Kathryn Heller by June 2, at 501-320-5717 or kheller@cals.org. This event is free and open to the public.
