Kansas City, MO 09-04-05 – A look at the local impact of Hurricane Katrina, Latino USA's Maria Hinojosa provides snapshot about Hurricane Katrina affect on Spanish-speaking communities, Kansas City Star columnist Lewis Duiguid provides his reaction to news coverage of crisis, UMKC professor Louis Imperiale previews Argentine film "Wild Horses," and Ollie Gates of Gates Barbeque explores the new "Goin to Kansas City Plaza" at 12th and Vine.

Defunded, but not defeated.
