ARKANSAS A-Z: Black pharmacist, beacon of humanity on Ninth Street
If you go to 700 W. Ninth Street in Little Rock today, you will not see much. There's a parking lot, some empty and grassy lots, and cracked sidewalks.

Ninth in particular is where one of the pillars of that community had his business: pharmacist and poet Frank Barbour Coffin.
