A Soldier's Story Exhibit

A Soldier’s Story at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center highlights the courage, sacrifice, and lived experiences of African Americans in the U.S. military, with a focus on Arkansans. Spanning service from the Civil War through today, the exhibit explores what it meant to serve a nation while striving for equality at home. Through artifacts, photographs, documents, uniforms, and firsthand accounts, visitors meet the individuals behind the uniform and gain insight into themes of duty, resilience, family, and community. Together, these stories honor their service and illuminate the broader history of African American life and citizenship.

The opening reception is Tuesday, November 10 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. A Soldier's Story Exhibit will run from November 10, 2026, to March 27, 2027.
