Joy Carrington arranges a display of 318 pairs of infant shoes on the steps of the Arkansas Department of Health in recognition of September as National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, Thursday, Sept. 29 in Little Rock, Ark. The shoes symbolize the 318 infants who died before their first birthday in the state of Arkansas in 2009.
