African American Experience in Missouri Lecture Series - Patrick Huber

Remembering the Ste. Genevieve Race Riot of 1930: Historical Memory and the Expulsion of African Americans from a Small Missouri Town

Presented by PATRICK HUBER, Professor of History, Missouri University of Science and Technology

Patrick Huber, professor of history at Missouri University of Science and Technology, will present his work on the Ste. Genevieve Race Riot of 1930. The riot was a four day disturbance, long shrouded in secrecy, during which vigilantes drove away most of the town’s black residents, many of whom were recent arrivals recruited to work in local lime kilns and stone quarries. Huber, a Ste. Genevieve native, received a fellowship through the State Historical Society of Missouri’s Center for Missouri Studies in 2015 in support of his research.

A collaboration of the State Historical Society of Missouri’s Center for Missouri Studies and the University of Missouri’s Division of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity.
