The Last Children of Mill Creek
Vivian Gibson grew up in Mill Creek, a neighborhood of St. Louis razed in 1955 to build a highway. Her family, friends, church community, and neighbors were all displaced by urban renewal.

"In 1920, a young county attorney takes on the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma. This true story tells of a three year battle that Claude Hendon, a county attorney wages to bring down the powerful Ku Klux Klan in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. In that battle, members of the local Klan whipping teams are prosecuted and sent to jail along with county Klan leaders. At the state level in late 1923, the Klan controlled legislature impeaches and removes Claude's ally, Governor Jack Walton of Oklahoma.

Threatened, shot at, physically beaten, and hauled into court, can Claude save himself and win his battle to rid the county of the Ku Klux Klan?"--Cover.
