Mill Creek: Black Metropolis Exhibit & "The Last Children of Mill Creek" Book Discussion

Please follow this Facebook event if you plan to attend—it’s how we’ll share updates, coordinate details, and organize carpools. (Comment you need or want a ride.) New to CCC? That's okay - we'd love to have you aboard!
At Collinsville Community Collective, we value self-education as a path toward a more just and equitable world. To begin the year, we’re learning from the experiences of those who once called Mill Creek home.
Read "Last Children of Mill Creek" by Vivian Gibson (library or order), then join us at 10am on March 7 to visit the exhibit at the Missouri History Museum. Reading is self-paced. We’ll discuss insights from the book and exhibit over lunch after the walkthrough.
Didn’t get to the book? No problem—come for the museum and lunch anyway!
