Celebrate the GRAND OPENING of Uhuru Bakery & Café, a project of the Black Power Blueprint, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 12 - 5pm at 3719 W. Florissant Ave., St. Louis. This free community event marks a major victory for food sovereignty, bringing healthy food access, jobs, and economic self-reliance back to North St. Louis.

Everyone is welcome to check out the community history exhibit and enjoy live African music, drumming, and spoken word.
