A collaboration between KSHB 41 News and KCUR takes the pulse of Kansas City a year after the murder of George Floyd.

George Floyd’s murder sparked a long overdue reckoning of racial injustice in 2020. But no one experienced the movement in quite the same way. Reporters from 41 Action News and KCUR talked with protesters and police on the front lines, and the officials and advocates working behind the scenes on reform.
