The Arkansas Newswrap: Migrant Concerns, Historic Building, and Tornado Commemoration

In this week's episode of The Arkansas Newswrap, we look at the challenges faced by Arkansas groups serving migrants and refugees under the upcoming Trump administration. We discuss the condemnation of a historic building in Northeast Arkansas, left empty for decades, and the unique commemoration by two artists in Rogers of recent spring tornadoes. Other stories include updates from the Arkansas State Capitol, a portrait dedication of legendary lawman Bass Reeves, and the theatrical production 'Shucked' at the Walton Arts Center.
