Community Announcements
The Northwest Arkansas Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Council is initiating a groundbreaking community-wide initiative designed to amplify the voices of the Black community across Northwest Arkansas.
"The State of Black NWA” census project will help us gain a deeper understanding of the quality of life in Northwest Arkansas, with a particular focus on members of the Black community.
This comprehensive census, supported by a grant from the Community Engagement Fund at the Arkansas Community Foundation and funding from The Excellerate Foundation, provides an unparalleled opportunity to encapsulate the perspectives of their “beloved community” aiming to elevate their diverse needs and aspirations within the rapidly growing NWA region.
