Conference
As an extension of our successful Korean War project, the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies will host a one-day conference on the Korean War. Our goal is to provide a greater understanding of the war and appreciation of its impact while also highlighting the role Arkansans played in it. Join us and learn about this forgotten war, an important part of American—and Arkansas—history.
