"We value NLC as a partner and champion for Little Rock as it advocates for federal policies and legislation beneficial to our City, and we appreciate NLC for selecting Little Rock as a stop on its centennial tour."

The Little Rock visit kicks off Monday at 8:30 a.m. at City Hall. After that, participants will visit Little Rock Central High School, the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts and the Clinton Presidential Center.
