A Brief History of Meacham Park, Missouri by Lonnie R. Speer, in collaboration with Bill Jones & Garnet Thies. A history of one of the nation's first Afro-American suburbs from its very beginning and development back in 1892. (St Louis: privately published, 100 pp., bibliog. illus., 1998)
This totally unique St. Louis suburb has struggled ever since it was established to preserve its own heritage. It has remained one of the few predominately black communities in history to resist urban renewal throughout the 1950s, 60s and 80s.
