Mosaic Templars CDIn 2005, the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center completed a two-year-long, community-history project, which included over 50 oral-history interviews with nearly 100 individuals. During this process, the project team collected and digitized hundreds of photos and produced historic maps showing the development of Little Rock's African-American community over the past century. The stories that emerged from this project were used to develop an educational CD entitled Voices: A Century of Little Rock's African American Community, 1870-1970. If you would like a free copy of this CD, please email your request to info@mosaictemplarscenter.com. This interactive CD-Rom is a multimedia presentation featuring the personal stories of members of Little Rock's African American community. A Teacher's Guide is also included. Suitable for grades 5-12.

Our objective is to build and maintain a database so we can collect materials that may be useful in any future Mosaic Templars Center exhibits or publications. Copies of all materials shall be placed in Arkansas History Commission records and will also be included in the Mosaic Templars of America Center for African-American Culture and Business Enterprise once the Center is established. If you have any materials that you would like to add, please email info@mosaictemplarscenter.com.
