We continue our series of archival sessions with Randy Dixon from the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History by listening to the sounds of the life of Orval Faubus. He served as governor of Arkansas for 12 years and is best remembered for trying to prevent the integration of Little Rock Central High School.
