Last October an Oklahoma forensic team found 12 unmarked coffins containing human remains in a Tulsa cemetery.
What investigators called a “mass grave” represented evidence of what witnesses had described almost a century ago – that victims of what often is considered the worst incident of racial violence in American history had been buried together without any stone or memorial marking the spot. 
The discovery also meant 21

Independence historic sites reopening for tours


By Mike Genet
Steve Schreiber has his piano hands ready to entertain visitors. 
Officially, the historic Bingham-Waggoner Estate and Vaile Victorian Mansion in Independence open to the public Saturday, following a long pandemic closure. 
Volunteers have been sprucing up both of the 19th-century homes, and to some extent have been giving pre-arranged tours in the last couple of months. Schreiber, president of the Bingham-Waggoner Historical Society, often plays the restored Steinway piano in the music room for guests while giving tours – “just like Harry Truman might have when he visited,” Schreiber says. 
“We are raring to go,” Schreiber said. “Some of our guides were forced to step back – age, hips and knees and all that type of thing – but I’ve been answering the phone all day.”

Paging Wolfman Jack.
In Westwood, demolition crews tearing down an old radio station recently revealed an even older radio station – or, more precisely, the station building’s old tower transmitter facility, which dated to the early 1930s.

Almost everybody knows the Patsy Cline-comes-to-Kansas City story.
Fewer people know the “Cactus” Jack Call story.
Cline died on March 5, 1963. She and three others, flying in a private plane, crashed in Tennessee on their way home to Nashville from Kansas City. Cline and several other country music stars had performed at three benefit concerts to assist the family of a popular disc jockey who had died from injuries sustained in a Jan. 24, 1963 car accident.

Tony's Kansas City: KC Jewish Chronicle Remembers MLK Visit


Get over it, Trump lost.

So the Jewish faith remembers and respects MLK. Thats fine. But what about Jesus Christ? Thats who they should remember first and foremost.
Guess it didn't get the Jewish communities attention when Jesus died on the cross and the day turned to complete darkness for hours (eclipses last minutes), and the 60 foot high holy divider in the temple that separated common people from God was torn in half, and there was a massive earthquake, and many dead rose from the cemetaries in the darkness and walked back into Jerusalem to live for years with their families again, and the Roman executioner who had probably killed hundreds of Jews that year started screaming that he had killed the "Son of God"! And Christ was executed for calling himself the "Son of God". But go ahead and ignore it.

She had been sent to get an interview and she would get it, but not without some help. Her assignment: talk to the Black minister, civil rights leader and 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner – Martin Luther King, Jr. – who had just flown into Kansas City.
“I saw him in the airport corridor,” said Helen Gray, the first Black woman hired as a reporter by the Kansas City Star-Times.

He was the leader of the free world and he would be home for Christmas.
That’s what Harry Truman, alone in Washington, decided. In the earliest days of presidential air travel, he authorized a dicey flight through winter storms to Independence on Dec. 25, 1945.
