Segment 1: Kansas City photographers William Fambrough and Matthew Washington captured the African-American experience in Kansas City.
For a long time African Americans did not have the same documented written sources as others in this country. Historian Delia Cook Gillis says this is one reason why visual images are important. They document lost narratives with an artistic story. Gillis talked about the importance of remembering African American history, and about two photographers who helped to do just that in Kansas City.
