Hillary touts the 'Billgrimage'

Posted By Warwick Sabin on Sun, Jul 16, 2006 at 4:35 AM

At a Little Rock fundraiser for her U.S. Senate re-election campaign, Hillary Clinton last night talked about visiting the home in Fayetteville where she and Bill Clinton were married.

She laughed how it is part of the "Billgrimage" as she spoke to supporters gathered at the Edgehill home of Kaki Hockersmith and Max Mehlburger.

Organized by the state dept. of parks and tourism, "Billgrims" can get a "passport" at any visitor center in Arkansas and have it stamped at the various official Clinton destinations: his birthplace home in Hope, his boyhood home in Hot Springs, the house in Fayetteville and the Clinton Center in Little Rock.

Anonymous Harding University students relaunch LGBTQ publication, campus security removes copies

A group of anonymous Harding University students on Friday published an "HU Queer Press 2.0" zine, covering issues of gay rights at the private, Churches of Christ-affiliated campus in Searcy.

It has been 59 years since 21 teen-aged boys incarcerated at the so-called Negro Boys Industrial School were burned to death in their locked dormitory. The Times wrote about the event in 2008, after the brother and mother of one of the boys approached the Times looking for someone to remember the event, and headlined the story "Stirring the Ashes." But on Saturday, a monument to the boys was placed at Haven of Rest Cemetery, where 14 of the boys were buried.
