You and your family are invited to come see Arkansas’ monument of the Ten Commandments unveiled and dedicated at a brief ceremony tomorrow at 11:30 AM on the lawn outside the Arkansas Capitol Building in Little Rock.
The monument celebrates the impact the Ten Commandments have had on our civilization and our system of law.
This is your opportunity to be part of history. I hope you will join us for this momentous occasion. If you need directions or additional information, call our office at (501) 375-7000.
Below is a press release from the American History and Heritage Foundation about the unveiling.
On April 8, 2015, the Arkansas General Assembly passed SB939 – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS MONUMENT ACT – and Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed the bill into law becoming ACT 1231. On June 27th, 2017, the original Ten Commandments Monument was installed on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol using private donations. In the early hours of June 28th, 2017, less than 24 hours after the monument had been erected, it was intentionally destroyed when a man rammed his vehicle into the monument. On April 26, 2018, just over 3 years since the law was first enacted, and less than one year since the monument was destroyed, the replacement monument will be installed and given to the State of Arkansas by the American History & Heritage Foundation which has fully funded the project.
The Foundation invites all interested Arkansas citizens to join them for a brief dedication of the Arkansas Ten Commandments Monument.
