KANSAS CITY, MO â All this month,
41 Action News has observed Black History Month, with stories encouraging viewers to learn more about some of the impactful people and places in Kansas City.
Now, Literacy KC has developed an smartphone app to take people on guided tours of some of those locations.
One such example is D.A. Holmes School on Benton Boulevard. Built in 1904, the building now houses apartments for seniors. But during the 90 years it was a school, it became a chapter in Kansas City s educational segregation story.
