In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Vivian Gibson, author of The Last Children of Mill Creek, about her book’s outsized impact. Since debuting five years ago from an indie publisher, the memoir is now in its fifth printing—and everyone from CITY SC to Target is paying attention to the long-forgotten Black enclave that Gibson memorialized. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about a pair of out-of-state investment companies wreaking havoc in city neighborhoods.
