The Missouri History Museum welcomes families for its wildly popular annual celebration, a weekend full of free activities honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., January 16th, 17th, and 19th.
On Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the History Exploration Days education program will explore how civil rights movements in St. Louis and across the nation worked to ensure all people could realize the promise of American ideals.
Monday brings a full day of learning, movement and fun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kids can get creative with make-and-take crafts or explore the Museum’s galleries on a Black History scavenger hunt.
Activism will be highlighted through workshops and storytelling, accommodating children of all ages and learning levels. Finish the day on an energizing note with a movement workshop with Mama Lisa, or a yoga class with The Collective STL.
