      <![CDATA[Mr. Mercer was my dear friend and mentor.  I met him in 1999 and began working with him as an Assistant.  He was honored in our first issue of Arkansas Talks for his 88th birthday.  He always had an inspirational story to tell about you, your family, or where you were from.  He was a wealth of legal and historical information and loved to "trash talk" while playing cards or dominoes.  Arkansas and the nation has lost a legend.  Be Blessed, RIP.

      <![CDATA[This is a sad day for Arkansas Civil Rights history.  I had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Mercer for an oral history project.  Not only was he a delight, Mr. Mercer's continued dedication to educating today's youth about the difficulties his generation encountered was most admirable.

And like all of the Six Pioneers, he was very courageous, too. <br>
