St. Louis Bank Hosts the Bosnian Exhibit

This morning I received a remarkable open letter from Patrick McCarthy, who served as an advisor to the St. Louis Bosnian community as it developed a humanities grant to produce an exhibit. The exhibit is titled "Prijedor: Lives from the Bosnian Genocide," and it is a powerful experience. After several months at the St. Louis Holocaust Museum, it is now touring. Fittingly, it will be on display from May 23 through September at the Southern Commercial Bank at 1449 Gravois in south St. Louis, a place where over 40,000 Bosnians made a new home. I've reprinted Patrick's letter about the people and the local bank because it provides something of a human face to what we might otherwise call "demographic change" in the United States.
