After being closed for renovations since 2020, the historic Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis will reopen to the public on Saturday. It's the final phase of a $380 million decade-long project to enhance the Gateway Arch National Park grounds. The Old Courthouse is famous as the site where Dred and Harriet Scott sued for their freedom in the mid-1800s, a case that ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court where slavery was upheld. Jeremy Sweat, superintendent of the Gateway Arch National Park, and Ryan McClure, executive director of the Gateway Arch Park Foundation, join the show — in addition to Lynne Jackson, the great-great-granddaughter of Dred and Harriet Scott, and artist Cbabi Bayoc.

Dred Scott v. Sandford is one of the most infamous cases in Supreme Court history: in 1857, an enslaved person named Dred Scott filed a suit for his freedom and lost. In his decision, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney wrote that Black men “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” One Civil War and more than a century later, the Taneys and the Scotts reunite at a Hilton in Missouri to figure out what reconciliation looks like in the 21st century.

Discrimination can take many forms. When J.D. and Ethel Shelley simply tried to purchase a house, they found themselves involved in a landmark legal case to fight for their right to move into their property. They were battling a restrictive covenant that tried to exclude them based on their race. ——— Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content:  Cicely Hunter, Landmarks, Black History, Civil Rights, Podcast Transcript: I'm Cicely Hunter, Public Historian from the Missouri Historical Society, and here's history, on eighty-eight-one, KDHX. ——— For St. Louis to be named the 10th segregated city in the United States might have come as a surprise to those who heard it back in 2017, but St. Louis's history is similar to many other urban cities. With all the hidden gems and history that surrounds this city, racial segregation became more fixed and evident as public policies and private practices tightened restrictions against Black communities. But these instances of discrimination and racism were often contested. We can look to Shelley v Kraemer, a court case that was argued in the Supreme Court and outlawed state enforced restrictive covenants. ———- J.D. and Ethel Shelley and their children moved from Mississippi to Missouri. They were looking to purchase a home, so Elder Robert Bishop, who was their pastor and a realtor, showed them 4600 Labadie Avenue. The Shelley's loved the home so much that they made an offer, and it was accepted. But, since the house had a restrictive covenant, the Shelley's racial identity became a determining factor that restricted Black people from entering, purchasing, or occupying certain areas based on residential segregation. ——— The Marcus Avenue Improvement Association with Fern and Louis Kraemer as the plaintiffs were determined to stop the Shelley family from living in their newly purchased home. The Circuit Court ruled that the restrictive covenant was poorly executed since the property owners failed to sign the document. Then, the Missouri Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision and argued the restrictive covenant remained a legitimate agreement. The final ruling by the Supreme Court on May 3, 1948, established that restrictive covenants violated the Fourteenth Amendment and could not be judicially enforced even though it was a private contract. ——— St. Louis was important to the civil rights movement, and at the center of Black legal resistance, with court cases like Shelley v Kraemer and Gaines v Canada, and Dred and Harriet Scott's freedom suit. In 1988, the Shelley House was dedicated as a National Historic Landmark and served as a “living memorial to the Shelley family and their fight against racial discrimination.” ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX.

In the great march for civil rights and social justice, few stories of enslaved people are as compelling as the story of Dred and Harriet Scott and their family.  They ultimately gained freedom, but not through the courts as they intended.  Just press play to hear the whole story. ------  Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Cicely Hunter, Black History, Civil Rights, Legal Matters, People of Note, ------  Podcast Transcript: I'm Cicely Hunter, Public Historian from the Missouri Historical Society, and here's history, on eighty-eight-one, KDHX. ——— The story of Dred and Harriet Scott is one that students often hear about in schools across the country. The Scotts' infamous court case demonstrated how African Americans fought for their freedom through the legal system. Though their story is one of the most well-known, there were hundreds of cases like theirs in St. Louis between 1814 and 1860. Over the course of 11 years, their case, which began in the St. Louis Circuit Court would reach the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, with a disheartening decision that found Dred, Harriet, and their two children, Eliza and Lizzie Scott, as enslaved people. ——— Dred Scott was born in Virginia around 1800 and was enslaved by the Blow family. After he was sold to Dr. John Emerson, a surgeon of the US Army, Dred traveled with him to Fort Armstrong, near Rock Island, Illinois. By 1836, Dr. Emerson relocated to Fort Snelling, located in the free territory of Wisconsin, and where Dred met and married Harriet. ——— The Scotts sued Dr. Emerson's widow in 1846 for their freedom. In the final Supreme Court decision in 1857, Chief Justice Roger Taney stated African Americans “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect,” because they were not considered citizens and could not pursue legal action in federal court. ——— Though the Scotts did not win their freedom as they had hoped in 1857, Mrs. Emerson soon remarried a U.S. Congressman and abolitionist, who quickly transferred ownership of the Scotts to Taylor Blow, the son of Peter Blow, so they could be emancipated. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX.

There have many heroes in the struggle for equity and civil rights. Few had the longevity of Nathan B.

Young, a prominent African American judge in St. Louis, lived to be 98, passing away in 1993. It's amazing to think about what he experienced over those years, things like the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, and the desegregation busing era. His life was interesting from the very beginning. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1894, he lived next door to Booker T. Washington. ——— Judge Young graduated with his bachelor's degree from Florida A&M and a law degree from Yale University Law School in 1918. As a young attorney in Birmingham, Judge Young was targeted and threatened by the Ku Klux Klan due to his involvement with the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Judge Young decided to migrate north with his wife, Mamie, and practiced law in St. Louis. He described the city as an “oasis compared to Birmingham, Alabama, at the time in 1924.” ——— A few years later he co-founded the St. Louis American, an African American weekly newspaper, which was soon being circulated to over 2,000 readers. Young contributed an editorial in every single issue for over forty years. One of his first articles focused on the work of A. Philip Randolph, a labor unionist and civil rights advocate, who Young described as an “unsung hero.” Randolph experienced many challenges fighting “to get recognition as a regular labor organization from the Pullman Company which had set up its own porters' union.” ——— Young enjoyed researching local Black history and developed an expertise, even writing a history of African Americans in St. Louis in 1937. When the civil rights movement was discussed, Judge Young concluded that St. Louis was important to the civil rights movement as a city with a strong Black activism presence and there were several cases that received national attention like Dred and Harriet Scott's freedom suit, Shelley v Kraemer and Gaines v Canada. ——— Judge Young was named the first African American municipal judge for City Court #2 in St. Louis by Mayor Alfonso Cervantes in December of 1965. He would retire as judge in 1972 but continued to influence the community. In honor of Black history month, let's recognize local African Americans like Judge Nathan B. Young Jr. who shared Black history with his community and now contributes to the legacy of our city. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX.

On April 6th 1846 the “Dred Scott Case” first went to trial in St. Louis, Missouri's Old Court House. The case involved an enslaved couple, Dred and Harriet Scott, who filed suit against their owner to gain their freedom. They did this based on the fact that they had once lived in “free territory” and should therefore have been emancipated based on the doctrine of “once free, always free”, previously recognized by Missouri courts. Little did the Scott's know, that eleven years and several court cases later, the question of their freedom would be brought before the US Supreme Court and would result in the horrendous “Dred Scott Decision”. That decision would serve as a major catalyst for the turbulent events leading up to the American Civil War. In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Lynne Jackson, the great, great granddaughter of Dred and Harriet Scott and the President & Founder of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation. Lynne will be sharing the fascinating story of her courageous ancestors who persevered in their pursuit of freedom. Picture(s): Courtesy of Lynne Jackson Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man

Earlier this summer, the National Constitution Center hosted a conversation about the untold stories of women abolitionists, suffragists, and even soldiers during the Civil War. NCC Senior Director of Content Lana Ulrich sat down with noted historians Thavolia Glymph of Duke University,  Kate Masur of Northwestern University, and Catherine Clinton of the University of Texas in San Antonio. These scholars told fascinating stories from the lives of women like Harriet Scott, Ida B. Wells, and Harriet Tubman.  This event celebrated our new exhibit ‘Civil War and Reconstruction: the Battle for Freedom and Equality’ which Glymph and Masur helped produce as members of our exhibit's advisory board.    This conversation was presented in partnership with Drexel University's national women's equality initiative, Vision 2020.

Baby Spice Emma Bunton may not have released much music but she was busy having babies, designing childrens clothing, nappy and products as well as hosting popular reality programmes in the UK and US. All whilst maintaining a steady radio presenting career on Heart FM.   It’s an exciting start to this era for Baby – because she has a baby. Her first, Beau, born in 2007.   2009 – Emma starts her stint on Heart FM. She covers a couple of shifts and is rewarded with her on Saturday drive time slot. She pre-records because Baby has better places to be than a stuffy studio on a Saturday evening.   2010 – She joins the judging panel of Dancing On Ice. She did 2 series. It was a little controversial at the time. People wondered, with no ice skating background, what she could possibly provide as a judge. But she was praised for locking horns with chief judge Jason Gardiner and not being afraid to make unpopular comments. She said it helped her shed her Baby Spice tag…. Because she became Sassy Spice. Here are some of her best put downs: She sure has. On the third show she told GMTV's Dr Hilary Jones: "I literally couldn't breathe through the whole dance and when you lifted her I felt physically sick, I was so nervous for you both. "I just didn't enjoy it and I'm glad you were smiling because I wasn't." The next week she said of Emily Atack's performance: "I just thought it looked messy, unsteady. I felt like you were being dragged around. You are improving but very little." Then, in show seven, she told Sharron Davies: "It's a little bit like déjà vu for me, with a different outfit each week." 2011 – Baby Tate. To celebrate she launched her own baby range with reputable fashion retailer, Argos. Much bigger than the capsule Geri knocked out with Next….. this was a 99 piece collection. Her eldest Beau was modelling the collection – following in his Mamas footsteps, because one of her first jobs was a child model in the argos catalogue. I bet she was a proper cherubic little model. All blonde ringlets and chubby cheeks. 2011 – She really commits to Heart FM. Covers maternity leave for Harriet Scott on Breakfast, hosting alongside her old sparring partner – Jamie Theakston. Breakfast is a big shift. It’s a high profile position, a lot of responsibility and hardwork. Its all early mornings and beaming smiles. But Baby does a good job; she ends up taking over the spot permanently and doing it for 5 years. Until 2018. 2012 – She did the previously mentioned Mel C duet, I know him so well….. Which I think is just lovely of them to work together. The video is beautiful, if a little boring, of them just hugging. Interview quotes they described the song as “having the spirit of spice”. 2013  was a big year for Emma Bunton – not only did she win Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mother of the Year award she had a new tv show. “Your face sounds familiar” – it’s a bit Stars in their eyes. 6 celebrities portray famous singers, chosen at random, to win £10,000 for their chosen charity. They’re trained by Yvie Burnett – who is the second best vocal coach in the world. After Carrie from Fame Academy. Its all very Saturday night cringe – filing the spots between X Factor and Ant&Dec. 2014 - Jade Jones appears on “Big Reunion”. Baby named as ‘Lead Singer’ of the group. Link for the image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4opaSrTHI 2017 – She appeared on the judging panel of new American reality show, BoyBand, which sought to find the new big BoyBand. She appeared alongside Nick Carter, Timbaland. Hosted by Rita Ora.             Best bit was towards the end they did a judges medley, with the contestants. Emma completes a flawless rendition of Say You’ll Be There. Of course she does. If only Rita were so lucky. She tries to join Timbaland for “Way I Are” and it is car crash.             They create the band “In Real Life”….. who have released 6 singles since in the past 18 months. One charting. It’s a start.  2018 – She becomes the host of American version of Great British Bake Off. Guardian had a great tagline: Contesants will have to dust it, make it, proof it, bake it – show her how good they are   We find her back recording, Studio Spice. More than a decade after her previous effort. Signed a deal with BMG records – who tend to focus on publishing rights and legacy artists. She is a songwriter with a legacy…. What a home.   Does mean her time is short. She has to say goodbye to Heart Breakfast. 5 year stint, successfully so. Award winning stint. Including “Radio presenter of the year” and “digital radio programme” at the TRIC awards. But they do give her a Sunday night slot (bet that is a pre-record). She knows how to keep a foot in the door (must be easy to work with if they keep you on that long).   Which makes room for her to finally get married! After 8 years of being engaged.

In 1994 Bob Hansman began City Faces for children in Clinton-Peabody Public Housing, then something of a hotbed of Bloods (and Crips) activity. In 1996 he opened a studio there, which has by now been populated by two generations of kids in the projects as well as hundreds of Washington University volunteers. In 2002 he adopted his son Jovan; the two of them have been the subject of national television and magazine coverage and the recipients of numerous awards. In 2017 Bob and Jovan illustrated a book of poems about immigration—Traveling the Blue Road: Poems of the Sea, which has won recognition from the National Associations of Teachers of English and Social Studies. Bob Hansman is a child of the sixties. He got to meet Coretta Scott King and Julian Bond, and was sitting just yards from Bobby Kennedy when he announced his run for the presidency. He also got beat up (and his lawyer’s office got pipe-bombed) by the Ku Klux Klan. Years later he began teaching at both Washington University and the Clinton-Peabody housing projects. Those two threads have been weaving in and out ever since. In 2017 he published a book about Pruitt-Igoe. Locally, Bob has received a Rosa Parks Award and a Dred Scott Freedom Award from Dred and Harriet Scott’s great-great-granddaughter.

Sandford is one of the most infamous cases in Supreme Court history: in 1857, a slave named Dred Scott filed a suit for his freedom and lost. In his decision, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney wrote that black men “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.”  One civil war and more than a century later, the Taneys and the Scotts reunite at a Hilton in Missouri to figure out what reconciliation looks like in the 21st century.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 12th and final study session on Edward Baptist's 2014 book, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery And The Making Of American Capitalism. Baptist, a Racist Suspect, created this text to concentrate the enslavement and desecration of black bodies as essential to the foundation and success of the United States. He confirms that the torture and forced labor of black people was an extraordinarily efficient industrial system and would not have ended naturally on its own. The book chapters are named after body parts to emphasize how the White slave system embodied complete war on black bodies. Last week's installment covered the infamous Dred Scott decision. Eliza Emerson (a White Woman) refused to allow Dred and Harriet Scott to purchase themselves from her. Baptist stresses how Emerson's interest was beyond money; she wanted a universal declaration of White dominion over black bodies. Baptist also explained how despite John Brown's terrorist efforts, Whites in the north who opposed slavery also hated black people. But they refused to permit White southerners to intimidate and dominate them as if they were niggers. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
