It focuses on the Titan II disaster in Damascus, the ERArkansas women’s rights activist group, and the 1980 Arkansas Constitutional Convention, and it further engages viewers by providing an interactive experience based on historical materials from the CAHC’s collections.<\/p>\n This online exhibit was a collaborative project by graduate assistants for the Center for Arkansas History and Culture: Acadia Roher, Laura Fuentes, and Emily Summers. Local Arkansans also contributed by providing quotes about their personal experiences of the Titan II disaster.<\/p>\n Schlosser, Eric.
