Official municipal historic-preservation record of the Mill Creek Valley renewal: the planning timeline, the designation of the area as “blighted,” and the 1959 demolition. The record does not give a displacement figure and does not name the residents’ race; the 20,000 figure comes from the Design Agendas catalogue and St. Louis Public Radio. The live page did not load on 2026-09-18; its text was read from the Internet Archive capture of 2022-11-30.
