GUIDED TOURS

"St. Louis Scene: African-American Heritage"

• Clamorgan Alley, Laclede's Landing: named after Jacques Clarnorgan part of the "colored aristocracy" of old St. Louis.


• The Old Courthouse: site of legal battles in the 19th century involving slavery, especially the Dred Scott Case, which some feel contributed to the Civil War.


• Cochran Gardens, a tenant-managed housing tract: one of the oldest experiments in tenant management in the United States.


• The Scott Joplin House and Museum: the famous composer's home has been renovated, and the tour includes displays of African-American culture along with artifacts of Joplin's life.


• The Ville: the checkered history of housing policies is revealed in The Ville. The area was racially mixed until the early 20th century, and it produced many persons who helped to shape St. Louis. Then restrictive covenants and other segregation policies set in, excluding non-whites from other areas of the City so that today it is home almost exclusively to African-Americans


• The Central West-End and The Golden Corridor.


• Black churches, schools, colleges, hospitals.


• Lunch at "Nezzie's Jamaican Cuisine" (or other "soul food" restaurant). (not included in tour price)
