2301 Market Street (One block east of Jefferson Ave.)
Its purpose is to commemorate the struggle to get employment from a bank that was
earlier considered to be a black bank when located in the black community.
When the bank rebuilt in a white business area (Jefferson & Washington), the bank got
rid of all of its Black employees, thereby causing great concern from the Black
community.
Nineteen (19) Black and White St. Louisians were arrested and spent time in jail in
1963. Norman Seay was one of those arrested and jailed fighting for those jobs.
