Vivian Gibson grew up in Mill Creek Valley, a segregated
working-class neighborhood of St. Louis that was razed in
1959 to build a highway, an act of racism disguised as ur-
ban renewal and progress. Her book, “The Last Children of
Mill Creek,” which won the Missouri Library Association’s
Literary Award for 2022, is this fall’s Big Read. A conversa-
tion will be held by Zoom from noon to 1 p.m. in the tech
hub at Christ Church Cathedral Sunday, Oct. 15,  with
Vivian Gibson joining the group for a Q&A. For more infor-
mation, contact Mary Hovland.
