"Everyone can be great because anybody can serve."

-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center challenged kids and teens to sign up Monday for a half day of service at a local organization. Cards with the photos and biographies of prominent Black leaders were laid out on a table in one of the center's galleries. Children made their pledges on the back of the cards.

Across the street from the center on Ninth Street, members of the the Arkansas Jazz Heritage Foundation picked up trash as part of a beautification program.
