COMMUNITY
Last Jefferson Bank Commemorative Protest
Co-sponsored by Organization for Black Struggle and MO Jobs with Justice
8/23/2024 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
In St. Louis in August 1963, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) presented a demand to Jefferson Bank and Trust Company. The simple demand was to hire four employees to address the racist hiring practices in the St. Louis banking institutions. When the bank’s reply was that there were not “four Blacks in the city” fit for such jobs, CORE launched a protest which became the longest and most contentious protest in St. Louis civil rights history.
Although the bank finally met the demands, a commemorative protest continued at the site on Jefferson and Market Streets to amplify the voices of workers for livable wages, safe working conditions and the right to unionize. Jefferson Bank and Trust was sold in 2022. This year will mark the end of the commemorative protests but not the end to raising up the struggles of workers and celebrating their victories. There will be speakers from National Nurses United, SEIU Healthcare, Jewish Family Services Workers United, Amazon Labor Union and more.
