Mourning Mill Creek – Aug 14 & 15, 2026
A tribute to St. Louis Mill Creek community that was destroyed in the mid-20th century due to urban renewal, displacing its vibrant African American residents.
The demand for black political power has been ever constant through the various movements–Black liberation,BLACK POWER, Black Lives Matter. This year, St. Louis is poised to elect a Black mayor. In 2023, the City will also reduce the number of alder people by half. New restricting maps will be created for the country based upon the 2020 Census. How will we guarantee racial equity and fair representation of African-Americans in the region? We must organize to ensure our communities are not further left behind!

How does the epidemic of missing Black women and girls impact the St. Louis region and what can we do about it? The Her Name Matters Town Hall event will cover these topics and more, bringing together Jamala Rogers of the Organization for Black Struggle, State Senator Angela Mosley (Sponsor of the Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls Task Force), and Sara White of the Salvation Army Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative for an in-depth discussion on this urgent crisis.

This exciting fundraising event will feature a heartfelt tribute to the late Doug Eason and will bring together many of the legendary voices heard on local radio stations, along with several pioneers of the industry.
