In April 1927, John Carter, a black man was falsely accused of assaulting a white woman and her child. Carter was shot, hanged, and burned in what is thought to be Arkansas’s last recorded terror lynching.A historic marker will be installed near the site of the lynching and a community-engaged soil sample will be collected and housed at the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site Visitor Center for historical purposes.
