Pete talks with Sharon Killian, cofounder of NWA Black Heritage, about the proposed Black Historic District in Fayetteville.
The establishment of a historic district would help preserve a piece of Fayetteville's history and an area with the highest concentration of Black ownership. NWA Black Heritage plans to develop a museum in the Black Historic District to highlight the area's story and cultural significance.
NWA Black Heritage is a nonprofit organization that began in 2008. The nonprofit is focused on preserving Black history and correcting the inequalities Black communities face in Northwest Arkansas.
