"Peanut Butter, Beer, and Maya Angelou"

Peanut butter, beer, and Maya Angelou all have roots in St Louis!

We will take a tour of the origins of each that helped shape American history by becoming cornerstones of American culture. From the experiments with peanut butter and sliced bread, to the prominence of the beer industry in St Louis, to the influence of St Louis born Maya Angelou on the American Dream, the Gateway City has contributed to shaping the daily lives of generations of Americans.
