The mountain...

Place of my birth...

And home in my formative years...

The mountain is a sprawling area that overlooks the downtown Little Rock area...

Formed of granite, bauxite, wild woods creeks and streams...

Home to the largest urban housings projects in the state...

A thriving (mostly striving) community when I was a child...

And just like the mountain the people there were and strong and rugged as granite underfoot...

I grew up knowing what it meant to be a part of and have the backing of a community...

They took our mountain...

They gave our home of generations to the Audubon Society in a covert move to harvest more of the granite and bauxite...
 
Scattering its most valuable resource, its people, to the wind...

Still we thrive (mostly strive) to hold on to our heritage...

We were born of the mountain...

We are chiseled from the mountain's granite...

We are the Mountain's people...

We are still a part of the mountain's landscape...
