No More Racist City in the US Than Kansas City, Missouri
Lonnie McFadden asks an excellent very legitimate question on the PBS program, "Bird: Not Out of Nowhere."
Who had more to do with Kansas City-- Bird, Charlie Parker or Winston Churchill?
But who has a statue on the Plaza? A city divided. Literally divided. Badly, badly divided. We need to fix that.

A Question for you, Kansas City
Yes, I have a question for you, Kansas City.
Count Basie and Charlie "Bird" Parker are both from here, both from Kansas City.
Why is Winston Churchill the only one on the Country Club Plaza?
Anyone?
Bueller?
