Free Film Screening: "Remembering Mill Creek: When We Were There." Oct. 17: 7 pm at Eliot Chapel
Join us for a free screening of the new film, "Remembering Mill Creek: When We Were There."
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 decline and eventual erasure of their neighborhood.
Author Vivian Gibson ("The Last Children of Mill Creek") will join us to discuss the film and answer questions. Copies of Ms. Gibson's book will be available for purchase.
A Film in the Racial Justice Film Series presented by Women's Voices Raised for Social Justice and Eliot Unitarian Universalist Chapel.
