KC CURRENTS 8-28-05

By Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – A disparity study looks at the possibility of discrimination in contracting and hiring on city-financed projects. An excerpt from a recent talk by Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini. Local Latino leaders meet with congressional representatives from Kansas and Missouri. The start of a series of segments on becoming financially independent with financial planner David Jackson. From Latino USA, an interview with Saul Hernandez, lead singer of the Mexican rock band Jaguares. And a mural representing Hmong culture goes up in KCK.
