Daisy Gatson Bates: Soil of Justice | Little Rock News

This Wednesday, August 26th, witness a powerful documentary-style performance at First Missionary Baptist Church in Little Rock — “Something in the Soil,” honoring Daisy Gatson Bates, the unsung hero behind the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School. Actress Phyliss Yvonne Stickney brings Bates’ life to vivid life, weaving her journey as journalist, publisher, and civil rights leader through the very streets and rooms where history unfolded. Set against the hallowed ground of a church that once hosted Dr. King, this one-woman show is a timely tribute to Bates’ legacy — especially as America marks its 250th anniversary. Don’t miss this moving, historically rich evening beginning at 6 PM. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
