August Speaker Series – Extraordinary Black Missourians

Dr. John A. Wright is our August 2nd presenter for our Speakers Series on Zoom at 6:00pm. Dr. Wright has written more than a half dozen books about African-American history in Missouri and in particularly the St. Louis region. His August topic will be “Extraordinary Black Missourians.” He published a 2013 book by the same title.

Here are three links about the author, the book and the topic.
