The Ozark Foothills African-American History Museum would not have been possible without the work of  Albessie Thompson,  the subject of this Turn to Your Neighbor segment. Born and raised in Twin Groves, Arkansas, Thompson has worked tirelessly for the past 30 years to preserve the history of her hometown. We continue the "Preserving Our History" series with a closer look at this museum in Twin Groves, Arkansas.

Find out more by visiting the Ozark Foothills African-American History Museum’s Facebook page.
