Kansas City, MO – Memories of jazz legend Jay McShann and excerpts from a 1986 KCUR interview. Kofi Annan delivers his last major address as United Nation Secretary General in Independence, MO. Plus, Texas demographer Steve Murdock projects that the United States will be majority minority by 2050 and talks about the implications.
Defunded, but not defeated.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
