Little Rock

We arrived in LR on Sunday and were very impressed. The city is very pretty with hilly landscape. The Clinton Presidential Center extends over the Arkansas River with its cantilever design.  It recounted the 90's in great detail. Check out our 15 seconds of fame as Presidents. While touring the state capitol today, Darrell asked a young man a question, then saw his photo, and realized it was the Lieutenant Governor! Modeled after the capitol in DC, the white marble throughout makes for a very beautiful building. The Little Rock Central High School desegregation exhibit was state of the art with videos, etc. The actual high school is very beautiful, and was voted most beautiful high school by The American Institute of Architects. We learned that after the "Little Rock Nine" had been escorted to school for a whole year, students in LR did not attend school the entire next year, while people fought for each side.
