Little Rock, Arkansas

Whoa the Little Rock Museum was so cool. There were pictures and exhibits explaining about not only the events that took place in Little Rock, but also about events in all Civil Rights movements that took place. One exhibit showed the racism that Japanese-Americans fought after WWII and also an exhibit about Emmitt Till. Central High School in Little Rock, where the Little Rock Nine events took place, was so big. The school was six stories tall and cost $1.5 million to build in 1927! That's crazy, but it was so cool. Today was fun, can't wait for tomorrow!
