Open from 12 to 5, last tour enters at 4:30 PM. I came twice at around 4:30 PM, and the last day I was just too tired to enter at 12 PM. Some places are open to visit, and some places are not for you to see. This place was the latter. I did walk around, got to spook out one of the staff members, and peeked inside the house through the windows. It's a small house with a big story, let's leave it at that. If you want to see the inside, you know the hours, other than that, this house is always open to see.... (bwahahah).

Pictures do not come out well since it looks like you are taking a picture of trees & bushes, but when you see it in person...you can clearly see what is there. Moreover, the Hospital smoke stack still stands a little further down the road as well, and that you can see as clear as day. The foundations and smokestack are on private lands and cannot be accessed. However, the historic marker offers a small parking lot and is very well kept. It may seem like it is in the middle of nowhere...but can you imagine how the people felt back then? When you stand there reading the marker, listen to the quiet...one can only imagine what it was like to be in their shoes. One day life was one way, and the next day it was completely changed forever. From what I understand, the Relocation Camp got its name from Jerome, AR since it is located nearby. However, the location of marker is actually located in Dermott, AR off Hwy-165. Do not follow the directions on Yelp or else you may end up in the wrong place and/or drive right past it. I have tried to change the pin, but have been unsuccessful. I have included a satellite map pic so you can see where it is. It is basically at the crossroads of Hwy-165 and 210, conveniently located on the corner. If you cannot bring this up, then look up Seark Sod Farm (that is the business you see in the pic with the outbuildings. It is out of the way, but if you are in the area and interested in this history...it is worth a stop.

A World War II veteran, he investigated racist crimes, including the Emmett Till murder, and organized protests. His 1963 assassination in his driveway by a white supremacist brought national attention to the fight for equality. You can visit the house where Evers and his family lived and where Medgar was assassinated. See the reproduction of the bedrooms , the house, the kitchen and appliances as well as one of the bullet holes from a previous drive by shooting. There is even a map of where the assassin was.

When I think about '55-- My paternal great-grandfather worked here then, living his humble grocer's life, a Chinese liaison bridging Black and White tensions, lending to his Black customers until they could get paid from the cotton work. It was a rotten, hard filled with racism. And now it's the interpretive center. The space was rather large, clean, sparse. The photos and his grocery sign and all of the sad memory that is commemorated here-- set and opened with the intention of starting dialogue of racial reconciliation. It was one of the most sobering moments of my life. The kind young man working here told me that my jin was very good to him and his family as he grew up, and he told me some stories of being a kid and buying snacks here. He let me walk every inch of the place, trying to imagine my relatives living in the rear of their store. I aim to head back for a visit, whenever it is "safe" to.
