KC CURRENTS 4-1-2007

By Sylvia Maria Gross, Ty Chandler and Alex Smith

Kansas City, MO – This week, landscape architect Walter Hood (pictured) analyzes 18th Street from the Crossroads to 18th and Vine. The Urban League of Greater Kansas City discusses diversity practices with local human resources professionals. And, poet Nikki Skies returns to her home town to perform at the Blue Room. Plus, from Latino USA, local communities react to recent immigration raids and hear from Chilean singer Francesca Ancarola.
