when the st. louis arrives in cuba the passengers cannot disembark but no one tells them why they cannot disembark because there is a critical crisis in cuba and also no one explains anything to them. but the crisis is in the following so you probably don't know much about the cuban president because you have no reason to know anything about him but you've probably heard about batista maybe not in the 1930s but he was already doing something. so, the permits the passengers acquired were actually sold thanks to the huge traffic of documents that were organized by the secretary of immigration and by the political opponent. so he was trying to stabilize the president in order to reestablish the political power the president wanted to put an end to immigration said he decided to issue a decree just a few days before the st. louis actually left. this is not against the passengers. the president didn't even know anything about the st. louis passengers. they were just immigrants or just legal passengers among

one of my favorite objects is the st. louis city flexing behind me here on the wall. the st. louis city flag is a great object. a lot of people think it's 250 years old. the idea of cities having flags is a recent thing. baltimore became the first city to have its own flag in 1914. st. louis was one of the first the following year when they adopted the flag. this was not the flag. they chose another flag with a famous symbol of st. louis that you see outside the art is in today. -- the art museum today. people decided that flight was ugly so in the 1960's, they held a design competition to design a new flag for st. louis. the flag that was chosen was designed by a yell art professor, theodore seiser and he was careful in choosing a flight he knew was going to be timeless in its aesthetic polity versus some kind of goofy thing that a lot of other cities were putting on there's. every piece on the flag has a significant historical meaning. the four colors on the flag are red, white, blue, and yellow. those represent the four empires that ruled over st. louis since france,ding, s

one of my favorite objects is the st. louis city flag seen behind me here on the city wall. the st. louis city flag is really, it's a great object because a lot of people think it's 250 years old. really the idea of city's having flags is a really recent thing. baltimore was the first city to have its own flag in 1914 and st. louis was one of the first the following year when they adopted a flag. the flag they chose was not this one, though. they chose another flag with the famous symbol of st. louis on his horse that you see outside the art museum today on it. people ultimately though, decided that flag was really ugly. so in the 1960's, they held a design competition to design a new flag for st. louis. the flag that was chosen was designed by yale heart professor theodore sizer and he was very careful in choosing a flag that he knew would be timeless in its aesthetic quality versus some kind of goofy thing that a lot of other cities were putting on theirs. every piece on the flag has a very significant historical meaning. the four colors on the flag are red, white, blue, and yellow

she was the biggest madame in st. louisthe civil war but because there were so many troops stationed here business boomed. she became one of the wealthiest people in st. louis but was all so very kind and generous. she had been destitute herself when she started out and that is how she got into her line of business and she never turn anyone away. she gave handouts of clothing to all widows and orphans who came her way. they lined the streets of the city for her funeral. she knew she was going to die. he had cirrhosis of the liver which is an occupational hazard in her line of work and she came to the cemetery, she wanted to be buried where her most prominent clients were buried but the trustees at the cemetery said oh no, we don't want people like you and you could tell she was a good business woman because she said i will have to speak to your wife. they changed their minds. she is buried in an unmarked grave because she couldn't have a monument or there would be all kinds of people coming to her grave. one of the most imp

then they filed for freedom in the st. louis court. as the transportation hub, st. louis was the national catchment -- natural catchment place for slaves. st. louis was something else. it was the center of western legal activity. in that vast area where judges only road circuits, one could always find a justice of the peace in st. louis. these courts mentioned as the -- functioned as the emergency rooms for persons in transport with legal difficulties. st. louis was the perfect storm. consider the odds. imagine a black person suing that person's white master before a jury and judge, all white men, many slaveholders themselves. was suing for freedom a lost cause? was it a foregone conclusion the slave would lose in a slave state? what are the odds of success? surprisingly good. slaves petitioning for freedom in st. louis won more than 100 contested cases. why? because of the second remarkable feature. the unique missouri statute enacted during the missouri territorial days and reenacted immediately after statehood specifically enabling slaves to sue for freedom. with

it is kind of an exciting part of the st. louis story and one it was so central to the settlement of the west. the object you see behind me is a pilot's wheel. it is a riverboat. the way we have it displayed is a little -- it gives a false impression because where the hub of the wheel is would actually be where the floor was of the pilot house. stuckne half of the wheel up above the level of the floor, and they were still large. they were still grabbing onto the wheel pretty high up, but it would not be the entire wheel. the of it was below deck of pilot house. of course, this recalls the days when mark twain was a riverboat pilot. he actually got his license here in st. louis to be a pilot on the mississippi river. and 1870's, river transportation in st. louis started to decline because railroads were taking up so much lack of moving things place to place. were so many places in the american west that really were only accessible by railroad. or wentrs were too wild in the wrong direction. some areas could still be supplied by rive

the 1850's, st. louis was the third busiest port in the united states, and its levy, which was just outside where the arch is had hundreds of steam boats lined up, side by side at the levee, they were loading and unloading cargoes and passengers taking goods to all different parts of the country. exciting partf an of the st. louis story and one of the reasons why it was so central to the settlement of the west. the object that you see behind is a pilot's wheel. it's a real wheel, i guess you'd call it a steering wheel, that was on a riverboat. of people say, it's so huge, how did you steer? actually the way we have it displayed is a little, it gives a false impression, because the hub of the wheel is would actually be where the house.as of the pilot's so only one half of the wheel stuck up above the level of the floor. still rather large. you were still grabbing onto the up.l pretty high entire wouldn't see the wheel, most of it was below the deck of the pilot's house. this recalls the days when mark twain

the river. it is important to note how essential st. louis was in the 19th century to the development of the west. even in the late 1700's, in the late 18th century, st. louis was the site of the transit of all goods coming out of the wilderness and going down to louisiana and out to europe or other locations in the united states. so this place was really essential buzz of its location on the waterways. the people who are operating the river boat trade, they like the security of keeping the river boat avenue. they did not want a rail bridge to be brought across the mississippi, really at any location but special at st. louis. st. louis had been very industrial as before and after the civil war it really picked up. bucci becamebut chicago maim a much more likely of transit of goods because of the opening of the canal. there is no hills and mountains to climb. people were sending goods through chicago. the big business interests were in investing in the chicago trade. there was something about a cartel against having anything built here. rail c

what we wanted to do was focus more on the role of st. louis, particularly in westward expansion, so there will be a shift. another shift will be when this 1976, was created that in it was more telling the story of kind of anglo white males going from the eastern part of the continent to the western part, in the way historians have looked at the westward expansion era, it has been looked out -- looked at in a different way, and we see that is definitely telling part of the story. we want to see the story of other cultural groups who went into the west. native americans who were already living there, of hispanic people who were already there, and essentially, the story of st. louis, which already had existed for 40 years by the time the louisiana purchase was made when thomas jefferson authorized louis and clark to go into the west. immediately after the louisiana wentase, lewis and clarke on their famous journey of exploration out to the west and they opened a new era in american history, where there was an idea that the government -- had explo

the largest slave dealing location in st. louis. everybody was throwing out their favorite landmark. teamber of our exhibit said, when i think about the places i spent the most time at on the places where i interacted people the most, it it is the grocery store. she put forward a local st. louis grocery store chain. why is this in a history museum? what is the big deal? we wanted to show that even those commonplaces you spend your most boring time of the week, this history -- there is something interesting that is such a specific part of life. they are a local st. louis family and they started with just one small store where they sold -- it was a butcher shop and ice cream store. now they are a huge chain that is very widely used in the st. louis area. looking at history from that angle, the idea of even those commonplaces have history was something we thought was very interesting. one of our other places, the overarching idea of home. sony different neighborhoods -- somebody different neighborhoods in st. louis. just as much a part

especially the story of st. louisich already had existed for 40 years by the time the louisiana purchase was made when thomas jefferson authorized louis and clark to go into the west. immediately after the louisiana purchase, lewis and clarke went on their famous journey of exploration out to the west coast. they opened a new era in american history where there was an idea the government would have explorers, mostly people in the military, go into the west and try to identify important things located in that area. it was something the 18th century mind of thomas jefferson felt was important. it became a legacy so even after jefferson was long gone there were still groups of explorers officially going into the west. there was a whole section of the army, the topo graphical core with then the 1830's goal of trying to map and described the entire geographical area of what the united states considered to be its territory. the exploration cap going on through the 1870's and 1880's. there were still floors going out trying
