Black Arkansas History, on Display
The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is a Little Rock museum dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating African American history and culture in Arkansas. Since its founding in 2001, the Center has served as a community anchor for exhibitions, public programs, and cultural engagement that honor the experiences of Black Arkansans across the state.
At the Arkansas Folklife Festival, the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center presents the Braiding Hair, Intertwining Community session, led by Quantia Fletcher and Courtney Bradford, a conversation that showcases the traditional art of African American hair braiding in Central Arkansas.
