Description:

Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri has a rich history. Native American hunting trails, a huge plantation with slaves, millionaire estates, Jazz, Walt Disney, the Isis Theater, a commercial center – Troost was once a hub of eclectic, urban life. Yet, for the past 40 years, Troost has been viewed as the racial dividing line of the city. This book finds the threads from the past to weave a new vision for the future.
