At The Square

On June 7th, 2023, American Public Square at Jewell 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, the same place you found THIS episode, for anyone desiring to listen 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 KC, 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's Third District Councilperson, Melissa Robinson   Director of Economic Information at the University of Misso
