A vision for a cultural corridor in north St. Louis is taking shape in The Ville neighborhood. The MLK Cultural Blvd Project is being showcased at a block party March 21 to celebrate the effort’s progress. The event will also unveil a new report that explains the history and hope behind the corridor plan on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Aaron Williams, president of the nonprofit 4TheVille, and artist and community liaison Dail Chambers, are among the project’s leaders. Williams and Chambers discuss the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in St. Louis and why they see it as the perfect site of a future cultural corridor and tourist attraction.
