Continuing from yesterday's post, today I will be talking about racial relations in KC from the 1900s, bringing it up to pretty much were we are today.

55% of the black population of Missouri had migrated to the cities by 1900. Just ten years later, 67% of blacks lived in cities, confined to ghettos with crowded, unsanitary conditions where crime flourished. Bad housing led to more health problems which low incomes made hard to purchase medical care, especially as white doctors and hospitals frequently denied care to African-Americans.
