Gateway Arch National Park, The Oxford American, and Jazz St. Louis are excited to announce No Tears Project St. Louis, a series of civil rights and arts education residency events taking place in St. Louis. The programs are the first in a series of events to be offered by Gateway Arch National Park over the next few years while the Old Courthouse undergoes restoration. In addition, all new exhibits will share stories of St. Louis’ role in civil rights, including Dred and Harriet Scott’s struggle for freedom.
