Admission: Free.
Description
East St. Louis. Rosewood. Black Wall Street. All have violent and disturbing histories. In Columbia, Tennessee, fresh off fighting the Second World War in 1946, Black veterans averted another tragic chapter in America’s history by standing up against oppressive forces and kicking off a series of events that would lead to the White House. St. Louis filmmaker Owen K. Woodard will screen a clip from his film The Mink Slide, named after the African American business district where the uprising took place. Keynote speaker Dr. Geoff Ward of Washington University in St. Louis will speak about racial violence within American history, how it relates to Missouri’s history, and how reconciliation and healing can begin.
