Scenes from the East St. Louis Postcard Exhibit (Oct. 19)

Enlarged images of postcards of East St. Louis schools from the Andrew J. Theising Research Collection

Earlier in the month, I organized a viewing of East St. Louis postcards from the Andrew J. Theising Research Collection for students in our "Culture, Politics, and the Redmond Collection" course. The viewing went really well, so I decided to coordinate a similar show for a larger group of students.

On October 19, more than 200 students attended a Public Thinking event and viewed a sampling of images from Theising's collection of postcards focused on East St. Louis. The students also responded to a series of questions about the exhibit.
