A new St. Louis Walk of Fame book spotlights 140 great people who have made significant contributions in shaping the culture of St. Louis, the nation and, in many cases, the world.
These individuals have been honored with a star and biographic plaque on the non-profit St. Louis Walk of Fame, which is located on the sidewalks along Delmar Boulevard.
To be considered for the Walk of Fame, inductees must have been born in the St. Louis region or spent their formative or creative years in the metropolitan area. Their accomplishments must have had a national impact.
The St. Louis Walk of Fame is donating copies to all junior high and high school libraries throughout the greater St. Louis region in Missouri and Illinois, in keeping with its mission of promoting knowledge, education, career inspiration and community pride. ‘This book lets people know what an amazing influence St. Louis has had on our national culture – possibly more than just about any other city in America,’ said Joe Edwards, founder of the St. Louis Walk of Fame. ‘It’s clear that America’s two great migrations – from south to north and east to west – collided right here in an explosion of creativity unlike any other.” The new hard-cover book is available in The Loop at Blueberry Hill, 6504 Delmar; the Moonrise Hotel gift shop, 6177 Delmar; and Subterranean Books, 6275 Delmar, as well as in bookstores and gift shops throughout St. Louis.
The cost is $25 per copy with proceeds going to the non-profit St. Louis Walk of Fame organization.
