Black Social Group’s Headquarters Burns
From Times Wire Reports
A fire in Little Rock destroyed the former headquarters of a major black social organization, which was to be remodeled into a museum of African American life.
The fire began about 2 a.m., eventually leading to the three-story building’s collapse. The cause was not immediately determined. Some nearby buildings had minor damage.
Built in 1911, the building was the national headquarters for the Mosaic Templars, which had chapters in 26 states.
