December 24, 1976

Governor David Pryor declared December 24, 1976, to be Robert “Say” McIntosh Day. McIntosh became a restaurant owner, political activist, and community organizer distinctly tied to the Little Rock (Pulaski County) area and Arkansas politics. The 1980s saw the most prolific (and outlandish) period of McIntosh’s political career, including a faux crucifixion in 1981 on the steps of the Arkansas State Capitol during a anti-racism demonstration targeting various state legislators and Governor Frank White.
