Are you researching in Clark County?
Arkadelphia? and environs, including but not limited to: 'Cross the River? (Manchester, Piney Grove, Williams Settlement, Mt. Morriah, Griffithtown, etc.) Curtis? Gum Springs? Richmond Hill? Spring Hill? Midway? all Peake High folks...
Gurdon? (Bell High) Okolona? (Simmons High) Vaden?
Or, were your folks a stone's throw away, on the other side of the road and therefore in Dallas County? (Which may have been in Clark County in the past....)
I have most of my data online at Rootsweb's WorldConnect site. Check it out. I may have your folks in my data, kin and not kin to me.
No living people are shown, so I may have them even tho they will not be displayed.
The data is titled:
(Mostly) People of Color - Clark County
