"There’s something powerful about knowing where you come from the stories, the struggles, the triumphs. That’s why I stand behind the work being done to preserve the legacy of Merrill High School, a cornerstone of education and excellence in Pine Bluff from 1886 to 1975."

"While this project has been a labor of love. It is my sincere desire that the legacy of Merrill High remains alive, active and thriving in Pine Bluff, surrounding areas, the state of Arkansas and the nation.
That the current citizens learn and recognize the foundation laid by their ancestors (not only at Merrill) should be respected, encouraged, and especially 'passed on'...and that 'The Spirit Lives'."
