At the Roots, Reaching for the Sky. John Pachak

At the Roots, Reaching for the Sky chronicles nearly 40 years of my experience working with families and children in neighborhoods in the city of St. Louis, MO. Through my work, I was able to meet, get to know and love African American residents of the community. Together, we were able to overcome differences of race and class and build a peaceful community where everyone's background and experiences made our accomplishments all the better.
