The “Mission, Milestones, & Memories” traveling exhibit debuted at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center’s Juneteenth celebration.
The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), currently celebrating its year-long sesquicentennial and hosting its annual homecoming celebration from October 15 to 21, proudly introduces the “Mission, Milestones, & Memories” traveling exhibit currently on display in the Pine Bluff Regional Airport lobby. The exhibit was created, curated, and produced by the University Museum and Cultural Center. The exhibit utilizes digitized, historical images from the university’s archives dating back to its founding in 1873 to the present. The exhibit debuted during the Juneteenth celebration at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center in Little Rock.
“As we celebrate UAPB’s sesquicentennial, we proudly embark on a journey through our rich history with the ‘Mission, Milestones, & Memories’ traveling exhibit,” said Carla Bryant, director of the University Museum and Cultural Center. “Founded in 1873 by Professor Joseph Carter Corbin, our beloved institution has played a vital role in the development and education of all our students, past and present, who have gone on to become some our nation’s leading scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, elected officials, and artists.”
“This expansive exhibit honors and showcases our remarkable past while looking towards the future and is a testament to the founding principles of accessible higher education set forth 150 years ago in Pine Bluff by Professor Corbin,” said Museum Archivist John Martin. “Displaying these historical images offers a tangible sense of depth and connection to our past and allows us to collectively appreciate our history and contributions.”
The exhibit, which has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees, will next be on display at various selected locations throughout Pine Bluff. The UMCC is also open to interested organizers looking to host the exhibit in the future.
