St. Mary's County Department of Economic Development’s Post

Great insights were shared at the FOCUS St. Louis event! Former St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, Former St. Louis County Council Member Colleen Wasinger, and Former President & CEO of Bi-State Development and Mayor of Chesterfield John Nations provided valuable nuggets on finding common ground through civil discourse. Here are some key takeaways from the event: 1. Building relationships is crucial to achieving success. 2. Working across party lines is necessary for progress. 3. Disagreements can be productive, as long as they are respectful. 4. Avoid seeking attention in a negative way. 5. Politics should be about the business of people, not outside agendas. 6. Our young people need more ways to connect and get involved. It was good to hear the discussion on how we can improve civil discourse in our community. Thank you to Yemi A. Akande-Bartsch, Ph.D and Jody Sowell Sowell for facilitating these important discussions. Let's continue to strive for civil discourse and finding common ground. #FOCUSStLouis #CivilDiscourse #CommunityDiscussions

⬛⚖️⬛"Investigating Durham's Difficult History The city and county we know today as ‘Durham’ has a long and tumultuous history. This talk will touch briefly on a timeline history of Durham’s difficult past, including the colonization and removal of Indigenous peoples, ties to Stagville Plantation and slavery, the Urban Renewal Project beginning in the late 1950s, and the continued gentrification of Durham with a particular focus on the downtown area. As the #talk transitions between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of Urban Renewal, it will highlight the founding of Durham and Durham County, the construction and success of Hayti and Black Wall Street, and Durham’s involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. The #goal of the presentation is to provide insight into Durham’s structure today, and how this turbulent history has affected the communities therein. This presentation will include difficult topics including racism and mentions of physical violence." *Contact: Jo Overstreet, joverstreet@dconc.gov ⬛⚖️⬛ ?Investigating? https://lnkd.in/eD9jqQf6 #WHAT IS #YOUR NEXT MOVE?? @ BLACK #Historical ♟️Genocide SOLUTIONS!!! #WHEN??
