Steve Carver Collection

The Steve Carver Collection contains photographs and publicity material related to the production of More Than One Thing, a 1969 documentary by Steve Carver.

More Than One Thing was filmed in St. Louis while Mr. Carver was a graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis. The film is a narrated slice of life that explores what it is like being an African American teenager growing up in the Pruitt-Igoe housing development. Footage from this film was utilized in the feature documentary The Pruitt-Igoe Myth (2011).

Four individuals featured in the More Than One Thing documentary gathered around Steve Carver and his camera.
