The 12 Elaine massacre defendants are being memorialized.

Twelve exonerated African American defendants from the 1919 Elaine Massacre are now a permanent part of the Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail, unveiled earlier this month in Little Rock during an annual trail induction ceremony hosted by the University of Arkansas. Historian, Brian Mitchell, a lead Elaine scholar, spoke at the event.
