Join BAMSL’s History Committee at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 8, as we take a guided tour of the Mill Creek: Black Metropolis exhibit at the Missouri History Museum. We will explore Mill Creek as a Black metropolis, all that made it special, and its erasure from the St. Louis landscape.
The tour will be followed by a one-hour CLE examining the legal process behind the historic condemnation and blighting of property in this close-knit Black community, if due process protections were provided to property owners, and the remedies available once property is declared blighted or condemned. |
