St. Luke’s Plaza Resident  Ms. Patricia Littles and the Operation Pathways Action Committee

Ms. Littles has been a resident at St. Luke’s Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri for 18 years. Owing to her long residency at the property, I asked her for some suggestions about Resident Services Coordinator (RSC) programming. She explained that she hadn’t had a chance to participate before so she couldn’t offer any insight or suggestions at that time. I invited her to participate and she said she would consider it. After a few more interactions between Ms. Littles and myself, she decided to attend an event. She first came to Bingo, then she began to attend workshops, and soon after she joined OPAC—the Operation Pathways Action Committee.

Eleven Movies that Confront American Racism

Part of our mission as providers of affordable housing is to work towards improved social justice for all races, particularly BIPOC. An educational and entertaining way to gain understanding, or rewire  our current understanding, of different cultures is by watching the movies recommended in this article, beginning with Spike Lee's classic "Do the Right Thing."
