dc.description	Before the flood control project of 1957 and 1958, Battle Creek experienced severe flooding once every 10 years on average. These historic images, some courtesy the Kimball House Museum, accompanied a July 23, 1978, retrospective by Enquirer and News staff writer Virginia Gust. The flood control project — much celebrated at the time but today remembered for its destruction and displacement of a African-American neighborhood known as The Bottoms — included the dredging and diversion of the Kalamazoo River.	en_US
