We’re excited to hear a progress report from a Missouri Department of Corrections program that benefits both offenders and their communities.
As we recently reported, the Restorative Justice program provides literally tons of produce for local food banks while teaching offenders valuable skills. We profiled the Algoa Correctional Center’s program in a recent article, but the programs exist statewide.
Algoa has three gardens, each about 80 feet by 50 feet where inmates grow cucumbers, corn, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, okra, four kinds of radishes, turnips, beans, beets, cabbage, watermelon and cantaloupe.
Dr. Gertrude D. âTrudyâ Conway, professor emerita, passed away Friday, July 30, 2021, at home surrounded by her loved ones after an extended illness. She was 70.
Trudy began her distinguished career teaching philosophy at Mount Saint Maryâs University in 1979, when she returned to the United States with her husband, Abdolreza (âHuschangâ) Banan, from Iran, where she and Dr. Banan taught at Shiraz University.
In addition to the decades she spent in the classroom, mentoring students and faculty alike, she found time to write several books, multiple scholarly articles, serve as associate dean of the college, begin the University Honors Program, and initiate a study abroad program that would become the model for the Mountâs foreign studies program today.

Pvt. Felix Hall was barely an adult when he was found hanging from a tree on a segregated army base in Georgia in 1941. His killers were never prosecuted but 80 years later, the US Army has unveiled a memorial to honor the Black soldier who is the only known victim of a lynching on a US military installation.
On Tuesday, US Rep. Sanford Bishop and army officials dedicated a historic marker that stands near where Hall was last seen alive at Fort Benning in Georgia on February 12, 1941. He was killed less than a year after he enlisted.
