KC CURRENTS 8-27-06

By Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – This week, hear from Dzung thi Nguyen and Gloria LaCroix Burns (pictured), two local women whose relatives joined them here after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Lawsuits challenge Missouri's new voter identification law. And, some unusual local responses to the violence in Lebanon and Israel. Plus, a tribute to Charlie Parker for his upcoming birthday, and a preview of next weekend's Kansas City Irish Fest.
