DESCRIPTION:
Daisy Lee Gatson Bates Day honors publisher and civil rights activist Daisy Lee Gatson Bates during Black History Month. Bates was born on November 11, 1914, in Huttig, Arkansas;
She and her husband, Luscious Christopher “LC” Bates, founded the Arkansas State Press in 1941, a weekly African-American newspaper promoting awareness of social injustice and championing civil rights.
In 1952 she became the president of the Arkansas State Conference of NAACP Branches and later helped the Little Rock Nine integrate public schools. She devoted her life to civil rights and anti-poverty initiatives.
In 1990, then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton recognized Daisy Bates as the “most distinguished Arkansas citizen of all time” and decreed Daisy Lee Gatson Bates Day on the third Monday of February.
In 2014, in honor of the 100th anniversary of her birth, the US Congress made Daisy Lee Gatson Bates Day a national event.
Daisy Bates died on November 4, 1999, at age 85.
