Biographical/Historical Note
The non-profit community group, Inner City FutureNet, received a Curtis H. Sykes Grant from the Arkansas Black History Commission in 2010. With the funds from the Sykes grant, this organization provided guest speakers, interactive classes, and workshops introducing young people to the history and heritage of Little Rock. This program was called "Reversing the Trend: Know your past, live your future." The Black History Commissioner of Arkansas (BHCA) was created by Act 1233 of 1991 and is composed of seven members appointed by the governor with approval of the Senate. The BHCA is charged with preserving the history of black Arkansans and black communities in Arkansas. This commission also encourages research of Arkansas’ black history and promotes teaching black history in Arkansas schools. Grants are awarded from the BHCA in a concerted effort to ensure Arkansas’ black history is collected and preserved. The Curtis H. Sykes Memorial Grant Program was established in 2009 by Act 660 to honor the program’s namesake who served as chair of the commission from 1993-2007.
