The Power of Printing

Discover stories about St. Louis people and moments that put the power of the printing press into action. From the tale of abolitionist Elijah Lovejoy to the surprising role that St. Louisans played in the revival of Oklahoma’s Cherokee Press to the local LGBTQIA+ printing collective Tiamat Press, these stories will explore the impact of the printed word. A conversation with the presenters and others will further illuminate the powerful connection between the press and social change.
