Join us as we consider the role of civility in democracy and ask ourselves: What is the role of citizenry in our “American Experiment,” past, present, and future?
Missouri Humanities strives to implement and support initiatives that highlight Native stories and voices.
Join us on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM for an enlightening Author Talk with Peter Downs as he explores the pivotal role St. Louis played in the fight for freedom during the Civil War era. Discover how Roswell Field and the historic Field House were central to the city’s anti-slavery movement, shaping the legal and social battles that defined pre-Civil War St. Louis.
Downs, author of St. Louis Civil War Sites and the Fight for Freedom, will uncover the geography of resistance and highlight the courageous efforts that challenged slavery in the heart of America. Don’t miss this compelling discussion connecting local history to the national struggle for justice.
This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689, or by emailing info@fieldhousemuseum.org.
