KC CURRENTS 5-28-06

By Delores Jones, Laura Ziegler, and Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City, Missouri School Board selects Anthony Amato to head KC schools, in a process open to the public. Producers Sarah and David Chavez, of Olathe, discuss the National Council of La Raza's ALMA Awards for Latino entertainers. (Pictured are Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria and NCLR's Janet Murguia). Plus, comedian Bill Cosby at Penn Valley Community College, and listener responses to last week's interview on medical ethics.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.

Your support has always made KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling to connects our community. Help ensure the future of local journalism.
