Description
Join author Calvin Riley for a talk about his new book, Black Saint Louis. Riley, the founder and executive director of the George B. Vashon Museum, will share how he established the institution and built a collection that reflects the stories of St. Louis Black culture over the past 250 years. Located on St. Louis’s historic “Millionaires’ Row,” the George B. Vashon Museum holds more than 10,000 artifacts, including the newly added Julius B. Hunter Collection. Black Saint Louis explores the rich history of African Americans in St. Louis—from the city’s founding as a French fur-trading post to the Spanish colonial era to the new millennium—and tells the stories of extraordinary people who helped pave the way for the St. Louis we know today.
