Two state representatives call on the Cardinals to erect a monument to remember the slave pens near Busch Stadium
Rasheen Aldridge and Trish Gunby have asked the baseball team to recognize the location of Lynch s Slave Pens.
Lynch s Slave Pens
The legacy of slavery in St. Louis has recently come back into the news with word that state representatives Rasheen Aldridge and Trish Gunby have written to the St. Louis Cardinals, requesting the commemoration of Lynchâs Slave Pens, which were located in the area of the current Busch Stadium. Reached via email, Gunby told me:
âAfter touring Rep. Rasheen Aldridge s 78th District last summer, I realized Busch Stadium was in it and together we talked about what I had learned and how we could build on the racial justice work he s done in the St. Louis region. Those conversations culminated with our press release asking the Cardinals to erect a monument.â
