Little Rock, Arkansas – The UAMS Midsouth Summit Black Expo kicked off at the Venue at Westwind on Saturday.
It’s the 18th Annual expo the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences has presented that provides health education and cancer screenings to the public.
The event also delivers family-friendly local entertainment that consisted of central Arkansas high school bands, live music, historical exhibits, mid-south business, voter education, employment opportunities, and fashion.
Expo organizers are excited about the return of the event which has been postponed following the recent nationwide pandemic.
Today’s turnout has proven to many why the event is known as the largest celebration of black businesses in Arkansas and why these events are so important to the development of diversity across the state.
