A Community Project Planning Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28th at 6:00pm at the De Queen Sportsplex.

All local residents who are interested in helping organize efforts to support the minority populations of De Queen are encouraged to come out and participate.

The purpose of the meeting is to begin planning a Southwest Arkansas Juneteenth celebration, discuss fundraising options for a Sevier County African American museum and multicultural center, and to develop programs that provide regularly scheduled Sevier County Latino and black history education for the public.

People of all races, ages, backgrounds and identities are welcome to attend. Please wear a face mask and practice social distancing. An online option to view the meeting will be available as well.
