Introduction The following paper is a community assessment of Bono Arkansas. Bono is located in Northeast Arkansas along Highway 63 bypass within Craighead County and has an area of 1.4 square miles. The town was founded in the late 1800’s by Alfred Bonner.

According to one long term resident, Bono was a social hub for rail and sawmill workers in the early beginnings, this according to stories past down from his grandfather.

sources used to support the arguments and facts about the life of Bates. Continuing this trend, the analysis on her personal life and more so the in-depth analysis on her contributions to the movement especially her involvement in the NAACP make this source a strong contribution. One weakness of this novel is its lack of attention to other important players in Daisy Bates’s life, such as the Little Rock Nine. Both had drastic influences on each other, but this source pays little to no attention…

Because they purchase enormous quantities of products for resale, the cost for the consumer is much lower; therefore, creating the competitive market advantage (Thomas & Maurice, 2010). Personally, I can’t think of many…
