Upcoming Programs

​​

The November speaker is Shawntay Vaughn of Blaze the Stage STL is  a single mom, comedian, author and professional speaker with deep roots in the STL community.  She will be presenting about the creation and demise of the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex in north St Louis.  The program is designed to increase our understanding of local Black history and catalyze our efforts to create a more just and equitable St. Louis.  By understanding how and why even a well-intentioned project can fail so spectacularly, we can hopefully contribute to more effective housing policies in the future, especially in the tornado recovery efforts.
