 The Last Children of Mill Creek by Gibson, Vivian

Mill Creek Valley was a segregated working-class neighborhood of St. Louis that was razed in 1959 to build a highway, an act of racism disguised under urban renewal as "progress." This book chronicles the everyday lived experiences of Gibson's large family—her seven siblings, her crafty, college-educated mother, and her hard-working father—and the friends, shop owners, church ladies, teachers, and others who made Mill Creek into a warm, tight-knit African-American community.

This book presents nearly 200 years of Asian migration, labor, and community formation in the US. Read about the lived experiences and diverse voices of immigrants, refugees, US-born Asian Americans, multiracial Americans, and workers from industries spanning agriculture to healthcare.
