HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Evolution, dinosaurs, fire, walking upright, consciousness, hunting, & colonizing. Fast-forward to exploration, settling in 1492, centuries of wars, racial, misogynistic, homophobic, hateful, parasitic, rapacious, practices aggressively occurred; like a boat headed in one direction full speed.
UNTIL THINGS LIKE...
The Three-fifths Compromise in 1787, the 15th Amendment in 1870, & the 19th Amendment in 1920 occurred that made it appear the boat at least was no longer going full speed. Appear, for the verbiage changed, the agenda remained the same.
HERE IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI...
Missouri, the Show Me State, was admitted to the U.S. in 1821.
Kansas City, Missouri, was incorporated as a city in 1853.
The Kansas City Missouri Police Department began on April 15, 1874.
1906, J.C. Nichols (26) embarked on his project to “beautify” the city...
WITH THE ENDING OF...
World War 2, Kansas City, received an influx of Blacks (who fought in the war) arriving via Union Station (built-in 1914) to live. In the 1950s '60s intentional (legally accepted) efforts (blockbusting, redlining, white flight) were made to place Blacks 'east of Troost' & at the time no further south than 18th & Vine.
THERE WAS NO 'DIVIDE'...
as to allude that there was an agreement made with Blacks.
WHAT'S GENTRIFICATION?
When neighborhoods that had been purposely disinvested in for decades, left for the less fortunate & oppressed, ends up being something the wealthy desire, causing an increase in the property value, ultimately displacing residents; ones on a fixed income, who have lived in the area for decades. The stores in the area see this new development going for double the asking price of the surrounding properties, so the stores feel they can rise the prices on their items; items that are mainly purchased by those on fixed incomes.
IN 1946...
Housing Authority of Kansas City (founded in 1941) was reactivated (WW2 caused the suspension of HAKC operations from '42 -'46) to provide housing for returning veterans. The Fair Housing Act of 1968 was passed to address racial discrimination in housing.
IN 2012...
Missouri state legislation established Land Bank of Kansas City, as a governmental entity. Its purpose: to acquire tax delinquent properties in Kansas City, Missouri, sell them at a discounted rate to those who commit to renovating the properties. To this day there are thousands of Land Bank properties.
MOVING FORWARD!
MRW! will be internationally aggressive in optimizing opportunities.
"There is a need for structural change that starts within the most basic communities;
the neighborhoods."
