Civil Rights in St. Louis Tour
Click to Zoom

From riots, to sit-ins, to lunch counter protests, the story of the civil rights movement in St. Louis is not always a pretty one. Begin at the Missouri History Museum, where students in the Teens Make History program will perform “Shaking up the Status Quo”, a short play about civil-rights activists organizing a lunch counter sit-in. The tour will continue on, covering this topic in detail, from its most painful to its most triumphant moments, and the locations where they occurred. A stop for lunch will be included in the tour.
