Public-art nonprofit Counterpublic is midway through a project meant to highlight some of the troubling U.S. history encoded into the St. Louis street map.
In at least 11 locations in south St. Louis, streets named for Native American peoples intersect with streets named for U.S. states from which white settlers displaced them, often forcibly.
The Counterpublic project places “erased history markers” at such crossroads.
