Kansas City, MO – We examine a case involving discrimination at Kansas City's Boys and Girls Clubs. Author Jim Myers discusses what whites and blacks think about each other, but never say. Kansas City health professionals respond to the high incidence of breast cancer in African Americans. Former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders weighs in on the issue on a national level. Jazz vocalist Myra Taylor celebrates her 89th birthday. And, East Elementary School students honor African American cowboys in Missouri.
