The Clinton Presidential Center opens a new exhibit Saturday, Aug. 10: “And Freedom for All: the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,” photographs by Stanley Tretick of the 1963 march at which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech." Tretick, known for his photographs of the Kennedy White House (including the one of John John under the president's desk), was hired by Look magazine to make behind-the-scenes photos of the march. They were published for the first time this year by the Smithsonian.
The exhibition runs through Nov. 17; you can see it for free Aug. 17, President Clinton's birthday, which the library celebrates by charging no admission.

Finally, a memorial to the 21 boys who were burned to death at Wrightsville in '59
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.

Arkansas Repertory Theatre to suspend operations immediately
“The inability to reach its projected goals for charitable giving and ticket sales, and the change in the theatre landscape in Little Rock have created a perfect financial storm for The Rep,” Board Chair Brian Bush said. “The Rep’s ticket sales have been on a downhill slope for several years. Our community is on the verge of losing an amazing arts organization and tremendous asset to our city. Closing The Rep will have a devastating impact on the redevelopment of Main Street and the creative corridor.”
