How many people are aware that a world-class yodeler from Zinc ran against John F. Kennedy in 1960 for the top spot on the national Democratic ticket, or that an African-American born in Little Rock campaigned for the Presidency nearly 70 years before Congressman Shirley Chisholm made her historic run? Or that bands of blood-thirsty pirates once lurked in the bayous and backwaters of eastern Arkansas, preying on unsuspecting Mississippi River travelers? Likewise, how many readers will recognize the fact that an English botanist who spent months investigating Arkansas's flora in the early nineteenth century has been described as the worst explorer in history? That Fort Smith hosted the world's first international UFO conference? Or that the Nielsen rating system has a direct connection to the state as does Tony Bennett's signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"? Such tidbits are among the unexpected elements that make the Natural State so tantalizing.

With 3 million residents, Arkansas offers a wide variety of outdoor activities and historical sites. Here are some fun facts about the Natural State that are great for kids. Here's what you should know about this incredible state.During the early days of the state, there were few people of color in the population. This was due to state voting laws that did not allow minorities to vote. The federal government overturned these laws, allowing African-Americans to vote. Then, the state's population was more evenly split, and this created a greater sense of diversity. Until the post-World War II era, however, Arkansas remained relatively homogeneous. Then, in 1861, nine African-American students sought admission to an all-white school in Little Rock. The white community tried to create barriers to prevent the students from attending, and the National Guard was called in to protect the Black students. The incident became an iconic moment in the Civil Rights movement.The state is also known for its diamond mines and bauxite deposits. During the 1920s, it was the first state to discover diamonds. Other notable Arkansans include Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, and Bill Clinton. The country's most famous city, Little Rock, is the state's capital and the center of commerce, education, culture, and governance. These are just a few of the many interesting facts about Arkansas for kids.
