St. Louis author/historian NiNi Harris will discuss the research she did to write her
latest book “Black St. Louis, 1764 to the New Millennium.” Studying slave schedules,
city directories, old newspapers, St. Louis Public School records, and census records,
Harris was able to recount the successes and growth of Black St. Louisans as they faced
great challenges during the late 19th.
