On June 7th, 2023, American Public Square hosted a Signature Event, Reparations in KC, at University Academy in partnership with Kansas City PBS. The live recording of this event is available on the At the Square feed for listening back.

In effort to continue the conversation, American Public Square is launching this new series So What, Now What to provide a platform for the questions and subtopics that arise from our Signature Events. In this case, Reparations in Kansas City, there are many questions left to be answered. Though this episode won’t address everything, we’re hopeful that you will learn something and feel inspired to stay engaged in the topic area.

In this episode of So What, Now What, you’ll hear some of the audience member questions that we couldn’t get to at the event answered through follow up interviews from:

• • Kansas City Councilwoman Melissa Robinson
  • Dr. Linwood Tauheed, Director of Economic Information at the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC)
  • Senior Reporter at Kansas City PBS, Mary Sanchez, who covers Race & Identity.

At the Square is American Public Square at Jewell’s podcast channel. You’ll find Both Sides episodes, playbacks of Signature Events, and our latest podcast offering, a new series So What, Now What aimed at exploring the questions and subtopics that arise from American Public Square Signature Events.
