Kansas City, MO – Missouri's liquor laws threaten to extinguish a jazz institution late night jam sessions at the Mutual Musicians Foundation. The Strawberry Hill Ethnic Museum and Cultural Center displays holiday decorations from the Eastern European immigrant cultures of Kansas City, Kansas. From Latino USA, after a rash of deportations at meat-processing facilities in six states, look at labor relations at Smithfield Pork Processing Plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina.
