The late 1960's were a time of great social upheaval, and race riots broke out in a number of major cities, leading to what has been termed 'white flight', as the Caucasians abandoned the urban areas for the suburbs. The latest production at the Missouri History Museum, PALMER PARK, written by playwright Joanna McClelland, is a joint effort between the Black Rep and the St. Louis Actors' Studio that examines this time in our history. But, it focuses specifically on an integrated neighborhood known as Palmer Park, where huge beautiful homes could be purchased relatively cheaply because of their proximity to downtown Detroit. Here, middle class African Americans could mix (in a strict 65% white, 35% black ratio) and mingle in an idyllic setting where many long held myths were shattered.

And their spirit and energy is palpable!
