While Black History Month 2021 is coming to a close, you can still celebrate and discuss Black history, diversity and race with your kids. One great way to keep the conversation going is by taking a deep dive into local Black heritage. The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau (LRCVB) makes learning about the capital’s Black history easy with their new self-guided tour. Here’s how you can get started.
