Mayor Quinton Lucas directed the KC Parks Board of Commissioners to gather public input on how to honor King’s legacy. So far, there have been hundreds of great ideas submitted in print and emails, but we would like to get some more public engagement on the topic with breakout sessions for participants. We are encouraged by the collective energy and attention put forth by our community, to ultimately create a more equitable &amp; robust conversation towards unity in our beloved city.
