Show Notes

*Note: We had some technical difficulties when recording this episode. We did our best, but apologize for any audio issues you might encounter*

In this episode, we talked with Aaron Williams and Julia Allen, two co-founders of 4theVille. 

4theVille is a community-based tourism and arts organization created by multi-generational Ville residents and volunteers to restore pride in the legacy of The Ville, a historic African American community in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, and inspire reinvigorated community ownership.

We discussed the importance of the organization and how it's helped The Ville community, and we also discussed Sumner High School and the recent efforts that were put forth to keep it open with a focus on arts and activism.
