Arkansas history on September 19–20 features a spectrum of notable events: Civil War skirmishing near Helena in 1862, the 1883 marriage of future governor George W. Donaghey, and the 1923 Little Rock police murders death sentences; 1944 Magnolia’s oil-fire disaster that claimed three firefighters; the 1957 Central High School desegregation injunction hearing that led to the guards’ withdrawal; and the 1974 Young v.
