Sister Ebo

     If you don't know the name Sister Antona Ebo, here's one to add to your list of Amazing African American women and Civil Rights pioneers.  Sister Ebo is a Franciscan Sister of Mary and a true St. Louis treasure.  If you have the opportunity to hear her share her amazing life journey I urge you to do so.  It's an honor to be in the presence of this humble, outspoken, wise woman.  Still sharing her gifts and talents with the St. Louis community, Sister Ebo brags that she will turn 90 in April 2014.
