A house on the southern edge of Little Rock described as the "command post of desegregation" received a new recognition Tuesday.

The former home of Daisy Gatson Bates, a civil rights icon and spokesperson for the Little Rock Nine during the desegregation of Central High School in 1957, was honored by the state with a new red, white and blue historical marker devoted to her historic contributions.
