This May, we hope you will join us in helping Missourians learn more about ourselves and each other. Your support will go towards programs that create neutral spaces for public dialogue, explore Missouri’s historical and cultural roots, uplift the stories and histories of marginalized groups, support local community organizations in underserved areas, and encourage continued learning in topics from civics to literature.
Help us make a difference by becoming a Missouri Humanities Member today.

We are excited to partner with St. Louis-Stuttgart Sister Cities and the City of Stuttgart, Germany on an upcoming oral history project.
The goal of the project is to collect oral histories from Germans and Missourians alike who have a connection to St. Louis’s German sister city, Stuttgart, including (but not limited to) people who have immigrated from Stuttgart, St. Louisans/Missourians who have visited Stuttgart, and members of the military who perhaps were stationed there.
If you have a connection to Stuttgart and wish to tell your story,
we’d love to hear from you!
