KC CURRENTS 5-13-2007

By Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – This week, family members and colleagues of former Missouri State Senator Phil B. Curls share stories about his life. Plus, a recent UMKC graduate talks about having his life told in a non-fiction book and upcoming television special. And a rigorous new charter school plans to open this summer in Kansas City's downtown.
