The St. Alphonsus Liguori “Rock” Catholic Church in north St. Louis received $500,000 from the National Trust for Historic Preservation's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund to restore its 120-year-old stained glass windows. Acting pastor Rev. Rodney Olive and longtime parishioner Monica Huddleston share what that grant funding means for the historic, predominantly Black church that's endured more than its share of building damage — and why the preservation work is important for the community around the church.

Historical, and cultural barriers have contributed to a disproportionate number of Black Americans' not knowing how to swim. A 2024 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than a third of Black adults – compared to 15% of all adults – reported they could not swim; and only one in three Black adults said they'd ever taken a swimming lesson. Youth on the all-Black Makos Swim Team are learning to compete and pushing their parents to take lessons themselves. Coach Terea Goodwin, and Makos moms Randella Randell and Bradlin Jacob-Simms, discuss their personal experiences around swimming, loss or near-loss of loved ones to drowning, and advocacy work that aims to ensure more Black Americans can find joy safely in the water – and reap its health benefits.

North St. Louis, MO native Craig James Mitchell has established himself in the intersection of storytelling, culture, and business for nearly 16 years as a Voiceover Artist, MC/Curator, Marketing Executive, and Community Builder. Since 2013, he has enhanced connections between purpose-driven brands and their respective communities under his creative and talent service, Craig Mitchell Effect LLC. His campaign, 'The People's Voice,' showcases his role in his creative network as a "mouthpiece for hustlers" who are shifting the world with their stories and experiences to curate the culture he wants to see with the gift of voice.

Continuing in Luke's Gospel, Gabriel appears to Mary, who is troubled at his appearance. But Gabriel brings a message of favor, grace and hope, for from Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit, would be born the Savior of the world. Mary responds as a humble servant of Christ, willingly accepting the Lord's will for her.  Rev. David Boisclair, pastor of Faith and Bethesda and Our Redeemer in North St. Louis County, MO, joins guest host Rev. John Shank to study Luke 1:26-38. The Gospel of Luke, filled with rich narratives and detailed accounts, offers an inspired and historical perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. Emphasizing Jesus' concern for the poor, outcasts, and social justice, this Gospel narrates parables and miracles that underscore the theme of God's salvation for all people. Luke's account is unique in its inclusion of the birth of John the Baptist, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the story of the Prodigal Son, culminating in a vivid portrayal of Jesus' death and resurrection, affirming the universal offer of redemption. This Gospel serves as an invitation to understand the depth of God's love and the breadth of His grace extended to humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

In many ways, Lee Hawkins' childhood in Maplewood was typical for families in the 1980s. He rode bikes, spent hours exploring the landscape, played rudimentary video football games. He and his sisters were raised by two loving parents and spent hours at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church each week. But in other ways, Hawkins' experience was unique. His family was Black in a mostly white suburb, part of the “integration generation.” He found community both with his peers at North St. Paul High School and at the barbershop he frequented in the Rondo area of St. Paul. And his parents, especially his dad, could be volatile, wrestling with the effects of intergenerational trauma that had roots in Alabama, where Hawkins' father grew up. North Star Journey Live: What Happened in Alabama? Ending cycles of trauma in Black AmericaReconciling those two truths led Hawkins to dive into his family's history. The result is his new podcast, What Happened in Alabama? It's an honest look at what 400 years of unaddressed trauma can do in individuals, in families, in communities. It's also a nuanced narrative of Hawkins' own life. How could the father he idolized also be violent? How could he break the cycle of trauma so that future generations would know their history and be able to heal from it? Hawkins lives in New York now, but he came home to Minnesota in May to talk with MPR News host Angela Davis about his journey for a special North Star Journey Live. On stage at the Minnesota History Center the night of May 22, before a crowd of several hundred people, they discussed the significance of exploring family history and intergenerational trauma, highlighting the lasting impact of Jim Crow on America and the power of truth-telling as we seek to understand our past and break cycles of trauma. You can listen to What Happened in Alabama? wherever you get your podcasts. Hawkins is also the author of the forthcoming book, “Nobody's Slave: How Uncovering My Family's History Set Me Free,” which is available for preorder now.What Happened in Alabama? on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-happened-in-alabama/id1743990592

New figures show Minnesota's high school graduation rate dropped a little in 2023. Last year, graduation rates rebounded to levels seen prior to the pandemic, but in 2023 it dipped slightly, with about 83 percent of high school students graduation in four years. There were slight decreases in graduation rates for BIPOC students. We wanted to zoom in on one district to talk about this in more detail.

On this week's episode presented by Busey Bank, Josh Allen talks with Charli Cooksey, the dynamic leader of WEPOWER St. Louis.   As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.”    Charli and her organization are doing that work in St. Louis by re-examining the local economy. She focuses on early childhood education, business acceleration and support and lots and lots of policy work. She has a strong vision for the future of the St. Louis and is mobilizing help from a variety of resources in order to get there. In the conversation, Josh and Charli catch up on sharing the TEDx St. Louis stage in 2021, her upbringing in North St. Louis and how it led to her commitment to advocacy and the power of a sabbatical.

The fastest rising hip hop star from St. Louis is arguably Sexyy Red. The northside native is currently on the road performing the “Hood Hottest Princess Tour.” Arts reporter Chad Davis and “St. Louis on the Air” producer Miya Norfleet share their reflections on the rapper's hometown stop at Chaifetz Arena on October 30.

A St. Louis youth football coach is on the road to recovery after being shot four times by a disgruntled parent allegedly upset over his son's playing time. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed the details of the incident. Assistant coach and defensive coordinator Shaquille Latimore, 30, is now in critical but stable condition following the shooting at a North St. Louis park during the team's football practice on Tuesday evening. The assailant, identified as Daryl Clemmons, 43, reportedly opened fire after a heated argument between the two. "I didn't see his gun until it was already too late," Latimore shared from his hospital bed with the St. Louis Dispatch. "I ran, and he shot me in the back. I fell, and he shot me a couple more times." The incident unfolded at the St. Louis BadBoyz practice session, a city recreational league team consisting of children aged 9 and 10. Clemmons, who used to coach the same team before Latimore's tenure, allegedly taunted the injured coach while he was on the ground before other adults intervened. Fortunately, no children or other adults were injured in the shooting. Clemmons turned himself into the police and now faces charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He remains in custody. According to a St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office probable cause statement, the altercation originated from Clemmons' dissatisfaction with Latimore's decision not to start his son in the games. "After every game, he would try to critique me," Latimore stated. "After he shot me, he was like… 'I told you I was going to pop your (expletive).' I heard people running and screaming." Latimore sustained gunshot wounds to his back, leg, arm, and abdomen, with some bullets causing damage to internal organs. Despite the severity of the injuries, he is thankful to be alive, as confirmed by his mother, SeMiko Latimore. The incident sheds light on escalating harassment and violence directed at youth coaches and umpires. In a similar vein, a Florida man was arrested in May for sucker-punching an umpire at his son's baseball game, and last year, a youth softball umpire in Mississippi was punched in the face by a disgruntled mother. Latimore, a married father of five, had been armed when he arrived at the field, citing concerns about the area's safety. However, he handed the weapon to another adult before practice began. "I gave my gun to someone else to hold. I didn't want [Clemmons] to feel threatened," Latimore explained. He added that had he kept the gun on him, he would've defended himself. After receiving treatment at the hospital, the coach is now in stable condition, expressing confidence in his recovery. "I'm going to be OK," Latimore said. "It's more psychological than anything else." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
