Honoring Mill Creek Valley: Mother Wit Book Discussion

If you missed it live, watch this virtual discussion with author Malaika Horne, PhD, about her book Mother Wit – Exalting Motherhood while Honoring a Great Mother.

The author will read a short excerpt and then be joined by her sister Gwen Moore, curator at the Missouri Historical Society, followed by participant Q&A moderated by journalist Jade Harrell. Having grown up in the Mill Creek Valley community, Dr. Horne’s book is “a moving tribute to a devoted mother whose determination, dedication and strong character allowed her family to breach barriers of race, class and economic want to achieve measurable success.” – Gwen Moore

Stories of Market Street Virtual Panel Discussion

If you missed it live, you can watch here. In conjunction with Metro Theater Company’s production of Last Stop on Market Street, MTC presents a virtual panel discussion exploring the stories of St. Louis’s own Market Street and the people who once lived in the thriving community of Mill Creek Valley which developed along Market Street.

Hear from historians and residents of the neighborhood, which was demolished starting in 1959, leaving 20,000 African American St. Louisans displaced in the name of urban renewal. Also, learn about the developing Brickline Greenway, and how it will commemorate the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood in its former footprint along a one-mile stretch of Market Street.
