LR BOARD OF DIRECTOR JOAN ADCOCK LONE DISSENTING VOTE IN RESOLUTION TO REMOVE ROBERT E. LEE HOLIDAY OBSERVANCE - "KEEP MY NAME OFF IT" SAYS ADCOCK


In keeping with her support of southern heritage (some say racist beliefs), Little Rock Board of Director Joan Adcock was the only board member to refuse to support a resolution to ask Arkansas legislators to repeal the state's dual celebration of Martin Luther King and Robert E. Lee and only keep the King holiday observance on the third Monday in January.

Adcock also voted against changing the name of Confederate Boulevard last year.

The resolution from the Little Rock Board of Directors, passed 8-1, requests that the Little Rock delegation try again during this year's legislative session.

City Director Joan Adcock was the only director to vote against the resolution and made a special request that any letter sent to the legislature did not include her name. Her excuse, as reported in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette was, "I feel like we have enough problems in the city without trying to tell the state what to do. I don't feel like we need to tell them what to do. ... I feel like we need to solve the problems of Little Rock."

Not to let Director Adcock spoil the effect of the resolution, it was cleverly drafted so that a casual reading of it gives the appearance that the entire board was fully behind the resolution.


We suggest that Director Adcock do the only honorable thing and immediately resign her position to show that she is truly a daughter of the South.

This would remove the old fart from the board and give a fresh new face a chance to improve the city and be a step to remove those with racist and divisive attitudes from city government.
