$Crossroads of a Nation Part III: Missouri\u2019s Rhythm, Roads, & Roots$

Join us for a screening of the final installment in the Missouri Humanities Council’s Emmy-nominated Crossroads of a Nation series, which traces Missouri’s indelible—and undeniable—mark on American history. The hour-long film, Crossroads of a Nation Part III: Missouri’s Rhythm, Roads, & Roots, explores how the state’s culture contributions shaped the American identity. From the freedom of Route 66 to the soulful sounds of blues, jazz, and country, from the smoke of barbecue pits to the rise of baseball and beer, Missouri became a stage where everyday traditions grew into national symbols. Through stories, music, and imagery, this film reveals how the heart of Missouri continues to beat the center for American culture. After the film, stay for a special talkback with producer and St. Louis media mainstay Cat Neville and Public Historian Andrew Wanko.
