Vision

The Saint Louis Story: Learning & Living Racial Justice is a public digital humanities project that joins community-based learning and scholarship with interdisciplinary work by collaborators from various institutions and neighborhoods in the St. Louis area. We have undertaken this project envisioning a more just and equitable city achieved by raising awareness of systemic racism and working to address inequity through research and activism. As such, The Saint Louis Story contains historical information and educational resources.

The Saint Louis Story is a living collaboration - that is, the project is never complete. Community partners, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members and administrators are constantly collaborating to expand the information and resources on the site. The Saint Louis Story is also more than a website. The project forms a hub of activity with the goal of bringing people together to form sustained and transformational relationships.

The Saint Louis Story also acts as the cornerstone of the Walter J. Ong, S.J., Center for Digital Humanities (OngCDH) publicly-engaged initiatives that compliments the other digital humanities platforms available through the OngCDH site.

If you are interested in working on or contributing to this project, please contact the OngCDH director, Dr. Allen Brizee, at digitalhumanities@slu.edu.
