B M & T ••• November/December 2022 ••• www.blackmeetingsandtourism.com 44 AREA GUIDES Other Little Rock attractions include the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center (preserves, interprets and cel- ebrates Arkansas's unique African American political, economic, and social achievement from 1865 to 1950); the Little Rock Civil Rights self-guided tour (six Little Rock loca- tions were included as part of the U.S. Civil Rights Trail); the Museum of Discovery, a nationally ranked chil- dren's science museum, and the Little Rock Zoo . The Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail is an ever-growing col- lection of sites in Little Rock that were significant to the civil rights movement. Created by the Anderson Institute of Race and Ethnicity at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the trail starts with sidewalk markers just outside the Old State House Museum and will eventually stretch all the way to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum. Art galleries, both big and small, showcase art from around the world and from just around the corner, and Arkansas's most vibrant the- ater scene is always raising the curtain on electrify- ing performances. If you are con- templating bring- ing your meeting to Little Rock, be sure to reach out Brenda Hatton- Ficklin, Sales Manager Multicultural at the Little Rock CVB. She will pro- vide you with all of the support you need to make your event there a suc- cess. • • HOT SPRINGS • • Hot Springs could be the ideal setting for a spa vacation as an incentive trip, with Bath House Row in Hot Springs National Park as the pampering head- quarters.
