Living Legends

Living Legends Event

Join our interactive program adapted from a poetry book co-written by African American sisters Aja La’Starr Owens and Adrienne Draper. Their poetry will be illustrated through music, dance, art, and film to capture the depths of the Black experience through their eyes. Living Legends will pay homage to prominent Black men and women in the St. Louis community and encourage participants to celebrate their own family history—and consider the role they’re playing in creating and actively living out their legacy.

Honorees: Adrienne Pennington, Theda Wilson, Keaton Strong, Cal Brown, Michael Brown, Sr., Mathew Foggy, Niah Foggy and Alderwoman Shameem Clark-Hubbard.
