Hear from the community
“We’re planting to have some type of color in the garden all year long, including winter. We’ll have plants to attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. We will have vegetables, for the people. We’ve got a lot of work to do yet, but we’re creating a destination in North St. Louis. People will come from all over to see it. ”
Gary BrooksBlack Power Blueprint community garden coordinator 
“I understand from the Uhuru Movement that there can be no real self-determination for African people, nor real independence, without the economic sovereignty and community control exemplified in the property, land and infrastructure of the Black Power Blueprint. I gladly give material support, a form of reparations.”
David ReardonDonor 
“Everyone else keeps saying what they are going to do. You came here and just did it. We are excited about what you have already done and how you are helping the community.”
