Pat Johnson: NEA National Heritage Fellowship Tribute Video (2024)

Visit the Eddie Mae Herron Center and learn about the history of the Black population in Pocahontas, Arkansas. The historic building is alive today as a museum site because Pat Johnson and the local community have come together to educate and preserve this important part of American history.
Johnson is the 2024 recipient of the Bess Lomax Hawes National Heritage Fellowship,
presented in recognition of an individual who has made a significant contribution to the preservation and awareness of cultural heritage.
