The Black Power Blueprint Promotions Team is seeking volunteer photographers, videographers, friendly communicators, graphic artists, tech specialists and anyone who wants to help to do community outreach to promote and document a series of life changing projects in a majority black neighborhood of North St. Louis MO that has been deliberately neglected by the city for decades. This area, now scarred by the vast majority of the 25,000 abandoned houses and lots in St. Louis is home to the Black Power Blueprint project.
Black Power Blueprint (BPB) has opened a basketball court, a community garden that distributes free vegetables, painted beautiful murals and rennovated abandoned buildings to transform and uplift the long neglected area along the West Florissant Corridor. An African Women's Health Center and Doula Training Program, Uhuru Bakery & Cafe, a restuarant with training program for food workers and entreprueners and a small business district constructed out of shipping containers are all in progress.
