For approximately forty years beginning in the late 1800s, Joseph Albert Booker was, among other things, a prominent leader in African-American education in the state. The Ashley County native, who was born a slave in 1859, became the first president of what is now Arkansas Baptist College in Little Rock (Pulaski County). He guided the development of the school until his sudden death in 1926.
