Description
Juneteenth Conference
SAVE THE DATE!
Join us for a day and learn about St. Louis’s rich history that
includes original inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, settlers, those
brought against their will through enslavement and immigrants
from many nations. The stories of underrepresented groups are
remembered in various ways within those communities, but are
often not known by a wider audience. This conference will
increase awareness of the struggles and contributions of
individuals from the past and help shape a more inclusive future
for St. Louis.
At this conference you will learn about:
• Underground Railroad Network to Freedom
• Reconstruction Era National Historic Network
• African American Civil Rights Network
• How to nominate St. Louis sites to these networks
• Building an inclusive community to commemorate and
share these important stories
