Thursday Nights at the Museum is a WashU-sponsored weekly series where the museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food and more! 

On Thursday, August 8 from 5-8 PM, the History Museum will host "Our Children Before the Hashtag." The Michael Brown Sr. Chosen for Change Organization is a nonprofit organization that provides holistic grief support and outreach programs to families who have experienced a traumatic loss. It has been 10 years since the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri—an event that changed the world. Since his death, the Missouri Historical Society has documented this moment in St. Louis history and hosted conversations and programs contending with the tragedy and the wave of activism that followed. Join MHS and Chosen for Change for a panel conversation with leaders and participants in the Chosen Fathers Program as they share about the lives of their children “Before the Hashtag” and how the program creates a safe and supportive space for grieving men to heal, bond, and grow together.
