A few months ago it was Black History Month and in the February 2022 Imagine Newsletter, there was a republishing of an article report I did on The Dred Scott Heritage Foundation. Also please note the important *correction regarding that article at the end of this story.

One of the updates to that article was regarding an art exhibit produced by The Ethics Project, the “Youth Art and Writing Project on Gun Violence, Peace & Hope,” featuring the voices of youth from the St. Louis Public School System centered around the issue of Gun Violence. With the theme of last month’s anniversary newsletter being, “Celebrating Youth Voices,” we couldn’t let the opportunity pass us by to dig deeper into the exhibit. What was discovered was powerful and surprising and deserves your immediate attention. We reached out to the founder and president of The Ethics Project, Dr. Christi Griffin, to investigate the genesis of the project, its challenges and most importantly, its future life.
