This week’s photo gallery celebrates Jackie Joyner-Kersee, captured at her East St. Louis community center as it marks 25 years of service, honoring the Olympic legend’s lasting impact. At Tower Grove Park’s Festival of Nations, vibrant crowds filled walkways between cultural booths and lively stages, showcasing the city’s global spirit. We highlight Dr. Fowler, recognized for decades of dedication to education and youth empowerment, as he prepares to receive the 2025 Salute to Excellence in Education Lifetime Achiever Award. And on the field, the Lutheran North Crusaders clashed with the Parkway Central Colts at the Missouri High School Football Kick-off, igniting another season of Friday night lights.
