Radical Empathy: The 63106 Project
In the 63106 Project, journalists and photographers collaborate with families to share stories of struggle and heroism in hopes of connecting people across "zip codes" in our region. They currently focus particularly on the effects of the pandemic. Our guests will also join us during coffee hour to engage us further.
Before Ferguson Beyond Ferguson was founded by Richard Weiss, a St. Louis freelance journalist and editor as a way to carry forward the Ferguson Report. Stories from BFBF have been featured in the Post-Dispatch, St. Louis American, and St. Louis Public Radio, among others.
Our service video will be available at 10:00 am on Sunday and will remain here all week. You can also find it directly on Eliot Chapel's YouTube channel.
