This was very informative to watch. I enjoyed learning something new after watching this video.

Fantastic job, Nico. You told the story of racially restrictive covenants in KC (and America) in a really clear compelling way. I loved the way you weaved residents' voices together to tell the story. Really great.

Thanks so much for the support, Mark! Hope you're doing really well!

This took my breath away on more than one occasion. NEVER taught of these discriminatory practice. The gentleman Reverend Wallace Hartsfield is an inspiration and his words were so forgiving of the decades of discrimination he has endured. To be that full of love for his fellow man...truly how we should all aspire to be. Wonderfully crafted, so happy I clicked play.

I like how you used full detail to explain and you sounded passionate about this topic.

Great modern documentary in explaining the old times that show us how we are here today. Excellent!

[@kelunade]

Thank you for telling this history. So many people in KC don't know about the racist, discriminatory policies that shaped our city. My own home is in an HOA that has these racist restrictions on "negroes" living in them. I may well be the first African American person to live here. The impact of these restrictions don't solely exist in the past. They are still harming residents to this day.

Quite interesting and educating video because I never knew country club plaza, ward parkway, and brookside had a history such as that.

So proud to have been a small part of this important project. Thank you, Nico!

[@NicoGiles]

You're team was a big part! Thank you for your contributions to the project! Pt 2 & 3 on the way!

[@kcdrew69]

So important. Thank you, KCPT. Now could you please have a HIspanic on both of your weekly news programs every week? "Ruckus" and "Week in Review"? Would you acknowledge them now? Please? Every week? A white woman, a white man, sure. But then an African-American and a Hispanic. They're out here, you know.

I wish for strength for all. Pull up your bootstraps like the old saying goes. Do what you love the very best you can and you will find happiness and success. One cannot dwell in negative behavior forever and expect positive results.

[@latresasaunders1589]

I didn't know that there were streets that divided the races and I didn't know that prospect was included in one of those areas.

[@Limitedfreedomofspeech]

The houses weee huge Poor people couldn’t afford to live there and that is simply OK

[@Limitedfreedomofspeech]

Of course, you had to get to it. Today Americans are all seeing the same regarding slavery. We would never treat a human being that way today. But let it rest, it’s the only way forward. Buy one of those incredible homes if you can. If you can’t, enjoy it from this video or the roadside and be happy. Make your dreams come true for yourself.

[@sesus6]

Disgusting. Shame on you. You live the best place of the world.

[@davidharrington3798]

Obviously, you have never been to Kansas City...in Missouri- a "slave state" until after the War of the Rebellion...

[@iivoodoovixen6710]

This was very awesome to hear! You did an excellent job! I feel like everybody who lives in Kansas should watch this so they can learn more about it too!
