Retired priest, Father Gerry Kleba, spent years in urban parishes and became a friend and advocate for Black St. Louisans. When Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski came to town, Kleba offered to take him on a Black history tour.

Filmmaker Tony West went along for a ride. The result is the award-winning "A Black History Tour."
