This is a great effort by Prop Man Johnson. You remember him as the person who built the warming center at the Homeless Tent encampment on 10th and Cass Avenue .

Now a new project which is more in line with what he does and that’s teaching youth building skills. I actually covered his program shortly after the tornado hit where he was building a tiny homes helping victims of the tornado. He had about a dozen youngsters in his program there who were learning the building trades.

As Prop Man says he’s giving kids an alternative to learning bad habits and giving them a skill that they can use to lead better lives.

With this new effort, he’s getting help from one of my favorite people Urban league CEO Mike Mcmillan.

MIKE knows a winner when he sees it and they’re helping out with a big contribution to help get this new initiative off the ground. I think this is a great thing for Community youngsters.

Bridging History, Building Our Future
This Black History Month, Bridge the Gap314 and Youth Builders is turning the spotlight toward home.

While we honor the icons who changed the world, we know that history isn't just found in textbooks it’s being written every day right here in the St. Louis metro area.

Our streets are paved with the legacies of innovators, activists, and trailblazers who have shaped the soul of the STL.

What to Expect This Month
Starting today, we are launching our "Local Legends" series. Every single day in February, we will feature a significant figure from our local community.

From the pioneers who broke barriers in the past to the modern-day visionaries moving us forward, we’re celebrating the brilliance that lives in our own backyard.

🗣️ Get Involved!
Black history is living, breathing, and local. We want to hear from you:
* Follow us daily to learn about a new STL trailblazer.
