- 4theVille: Part Three
*Note: We had some technical difficulties when recording this episode. We did our best, but apologize for any audio issues you might encounter*
In this episode, we talked with Aaron Williams and Julia Allen, two co-founders of 4theVille.
4theVille is a community-based tourism and arts organization created by multi-generational Ville residents and volunteers to restore pride in the legacy of The Ville, a historic African American community in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, and inspire reinvigorated community ownership.
We discussed the importance of the organization and how it's helped The Ville community, and we also discussed Sumner High School and the recent efforts that were put forth to keep it open with a focus on arts and activism.

This week, Dee and Jayvn talked to Christine Ilewski, founder and executive director at Faces Not Forgotten.
Don't forget to listen to part one!
Faces Not Forgotten was formed in 2010 to serve the dual mission of giving comfort to families who have lost a child (age 20 and under) to gun violence and to raise awareness of this devastating loss to our society.
To date, they have completed 30 FNF Quilts including over 250 portraits nationally (70 in the St. Louis area) of children age 20 and under who have died as the result of gun violence. The demographic of these portraits shows the glaring disparity in numbers of black children who are disproportionately killed by daily gun violence due to the consequences of historically systemic racism.
FNF collaborates with national artists and artist students to complete the original portraits, which are donated to the victims’ families.
To learn more about the organization, head to their website at www.facesnotforgotten.com. where information on how to join the project as an artist or to receive a portrait can be found.Send us Fan Mail
