The 1957 Little Rock Central High Desegregation Crisis has had lasting demographic impacts on Pulaski County, Arkansas. This collection traces those impacts across seven categories that correspond to geospatial patterns in the county:

• Race
• Population density
• Politics
• Income
• Housing
• Education
• Crime

The research of this project is presented in nine series of 76 maps and seven charts that demonstrate trends of an increasingly segregated community after 1957. Census data, city and county planning material, school district records, and city directory listings were compiled using geographic information systems (GIS) mapping technology.

"Aftermath: The Geography of Race and Politics Since the 1957 Little Rock Crisis" was presented by Dr. Jay Barth, Associate Professor, Department of Politics, Hendrix College for the 2007 J.N. Heiskell Distinguished Lecture at the Central Arkansas Library System. He was assisted in the research by Tony Davis, president of Brown Davis and former GIS Specialist for the City of North Little Rock, and Chris Stewart of the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies.
