CLICK HERE: The Mary Meachum Freedom Celebration

Every year, we work with a variety of partners to plan and host the Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing Celebration on the Mississippi Greenway.  The theme of the event changes each year and shines a spotlight on important-yet rarely told or not widely known- black history in St. Louis. The 2018 celebration brought to life the story of Unfair Fair: Prejudice on the Pike. Check out the video below to learn more!

Mary Meachum (1801–1869) and her husband, Reverend John Berry Meachum, were American abolitionists who dedicated their lives to educating and freeing slaves
