October 6, 1906

John B. Lindsey, a farmer, and Milton Lindsey, his son, were ambushed as they walked in front of the black-owned Colum Brothers Funeral Home; the elder Lindsey died. Several days prior, Robert Colum had been killed after trying to prevent the younger Lindsey from blocking a group of African-American customers wanting to enter his business. These events were part of what became known as the Argenta Race Riot, which left three people dead and a number of buildings burned in what is now North Little Rock.
