In October 2024, PROUD recognized the thirtieth anniversary of Ferguson’s Oak Park Conference. PROUD hosted a two-day conference to consider the ways that Ferguson has changed over the past thirty years.

The conference considered the initiatives generated by the original Oak Park Conference and evaluated what worked, what didn’t, and what should be done next to build and heal our community.
