About the 63106 project
A few years ago, we started our non-profit, called Before Ferguson Beyond Ferguson, a racial equity storytelling project. We sought to tell the story of local African-American families that have struggled over generations in our town to gain their purchase on the American Dream.
The stories were aimed at creating a culture of understanding and empathy in our community that would support the racial equity recommendations of the Ferguson Commission.
Then the pandemic came along and we put our project and into overdrive. We created the 63106 Project, which focuses on families in neighborhoods with the most problematic social determinants of health.
What our project attempts to do for the community is to connect the heart and the mind. We now know what the pandemic is. We also know why it is. But here we are telling readers how it is in these particular neighborhoods, for these particular people.
Kim Daniel’s dream of safer, more secure housing finally came true. It only took ten years.
Thank you for your support.
Before Ferguson Beyond Ferguson operates because of generous donors.
