BRIEF HISTORY:
The Arkansas Legislature originally adopted the National Motto “In God We Trust” Display Act in 2017, sponsored by Rep. Jim Dotson of Rogers, Arkansas. This act allows for the display of national motto posters in Arkansas public school classrooms and public buildings if made available for that purpose. In 2021, the Arkansas legislature updated the National Motto Act by passing ACT 410 of 2021 which allows national motto posters to be donated by private individuals to be displayed in public school classrooms, universities or any public buildings that are supported by taxpayer dollars in the state of Arkansas. If a public school is not already displaying the national motto according to ACT 410 and a donation of posters is made to the school according to the law, the school SHALL accept the donation and put the posters up on the walls in all classrooms in fulfillment of ACT 410.
We are helping with this effort by assisting the public to provide the posters for display. Through August 2022 we have assisted various groups with the production, distribution, framing and display of over 30,000 U.S. national motto posters in public school classrooms and buildings in the states of Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana and Texas.
