Jefferson City’s Legacy Historic District

  • 100 West Broadway Columbia, MO, 65203 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Rachel Senzee speaks about how Jefferson City officially recognized a neighborhood that no longer has a physical presence as a “Historic Legacy District.” At the foot of the hill at Lincoln University's Lafayette Street entrance was an area known as the Foot. Here Black residents invested in and owned their own businesses and developed places of worship, a park, a community center and a pool. However, much of this area was demolished as part of the 1950s and 1960s urban renewal process and with construction of Highway 50. Senzee, Jefferson City’s Neighborhood Services Supervisor, and others including the Historic City of Jefferson worked to find the right way to acknowledge this part of Jefferson City’s history.

That's What She Said Columbia 2025 - Presented by Flat Branch Bank

Since 2013, The She Said Project’s That’s What She Said performances have been inspiring audiences and empowering communities throughout the country with powerful, intimate stories shared by local women. 

In this third annual production in Columbia presented by Flat Branch Bank, nine women from the community will take the stage and share their stories of success, joy, hardship, and overcoming barriers. This year's speakers are Ana Garcia, Ava Gunderson, Greta Gunderson, Shaunda Hamilton, Dr. Linda Helmick, Rochara Knight, Erica Pefferman, Valerie Shaw, & Ayako Tsuruta. The show is produced and directed by Allie Teagarden.

This is an evening for the entire community to come together and celebrate the contributions of women here in Columbia (you don't have to be a woman to attend - all are welcome!). 

Each That’s What She Said show supports a charitable cause in the community. This year's show will support Love Columbia, with our 25% ticket sales donation being used to provide single moms with housing & utility support.

Your ticket to the show also includes a complimentary wine, beer, cider, or mocktail along with a sweet treat for you to enjoy upon your arrival at the Missouri Theatre. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. 

While we do not have a minimum age requirement to attend, please note that mature, emotional, and even traumatic themes can be present in the speakers' stories. We encourage parents and all attendees to use discretion. Support will be available on site to any attendees who would like to speak with a mental health professional at the show.

Spurned by the beekeeper, the girlfriend tells the son that he’s going to be the father, which causes him to rethink his decision to leave his small town and go to college.

True/False Film Fest

True/False is an annual festival in Columbia, Missouri, USA, which strives to celebrate the best of international nonfiction. T/F brings together filmmakers, artists, and musicians to create an immersive and communal experience focused on cinema constructed from reality.

Taking place over a long weekend, the mid-sized college town of Columbia is remade into a one-of-a-kind utopia with screenings, live music and art installations. The transformative, rambunctious, ecstatic experience of T/F creates a cathartic journey that invites participants to do nothing less than to re-imagine reality.

Creative placemaking means the festival develops the talents and focuses the energy of the region. We seek out the most creative, energetic people and then give them the tools to transform the downtown core of Columbia, both indoors and out. When the festival remakes ordinary spaces into magical, temporary spots, it inspires attendees from both near and far. T/F showcases downtown Columbia and its potential by welcoming in the wider international community.

This is an extraordinarily vital time for nonfiction filmmaking as an artistic form. Our goal is to forge a supportive, celebratory refuge for filmmakers and amplify the possibilities of creative nonfiction. True/False exists in a permeable, in-between land – bounded by fiction and nonfiction, but also bridging cultures and disciplines. Within that space, we encourage an atmosphere of innovation and excitement, free of the heat and stress of the market. Herein are the ingredients for a revolutionary new alloy, the future of an urgent art.

True/False Film Fest and Ragtag Cinema are projects of the Ragtag Film Society, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.
