À propos de cet audio

In this episode of That Doesn’t Make Sense, Michael Porter uncovers the story of how a federally funded highway carved straight through Black neighborhoods — displacing families, shuttering businesses, and dismantling churches and schools that once held the community together.

From the vibrant days of 18th & Vine to the bulldozers that leveled entire blocks, this is the history of a city divided by concrete. Featuring the voices of leaders like Pastor D.A. Holmes and Bruce R. Watkins, we examine how the scars of Highway 71 still shape Kansas City today — and the fight to reconnect what was lost.

Because what happened here wasn’t just about roads. It was about lives.
