Nearly seventy years later, the children who once lived in the segregated community of Mill Creek Valley in downtown St. Louis share their stories. Once home to 20,000 people, this neighborhood was demolished in 1959 as part of federal urban renewal policies. Now, these former residents reflect on their lives within this vibrant, close-knit Black community, revealing their resilience as children who witnessed the erasure of their neighborhood.
