The Pruitt-Igoe housing complex was once home to thousands of St. Louis residents, and the stories, memories, and experiences of those who lived there remain an integral part of this city's history. As part of an initiative to honor that legacy and when funding is secured, a group of artists will be invited to compete in designing a public art memorial for the site — a permanent tribute that reflects the true human experience of Pruitt-Igoe, beyond the headlines and the demolition footage. To ensure that memorial speaks authentically to those whose lives were shaped by this place, we are asking former residents to share their memories, perspectives, and hopes for how Pruitt-Igoe should be remembered. Your responses will be shared directly with the competing artists, guiding their creative visions and helping ensure that this memorial belongs first and foremost to the community it seeks to honor. There are no right or wrong answers — only your truth, and we are grateful you are willing to share it.
