Born in East Saint Louis and orphaned at eight years old, Orvin Kimbrough chronicles his early years through foster care, hunger, and poverty. He could have joined a gang. He could have fallen into drugs and the violence of the streets. He could have ended up in prison. Kimbrough’s memoir details how he sought the one thing that would redeem him from that expected fate: education. Today, Orv Kimbrough is the Chairman and CEO of Midwest BankCentre, St. Louis' second-largest privately-owned local bank. This is the story of a young man who was determined to make a better life for himself and is resolute about showing others the way.Part of St. Louis County Library's 2025 Black History Celebration.
