The History Speaks Project: Vision and Voices of Kansas City's Past History Speaks: Visions and Voices of Kansas City’s Past Western Historical Manuscript Collection Kansas City Charles N. Kimball Lecture Carol A. Mickett, PhD October 22, 2002 The Charles N. Kimball Lecture Series is a tribute to our late friend and civic leader, Dr. Charles N. Kimball, President Emeritus of the Midwest Research Institute, to acknowledge his support of the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City and his enduring interest in the exchange of ideas. Charlie Kimball was a consummate networker bringing together people and ideas because he knew that ideas move people to action. His credo, “Chance favors a prepared mind,” reflects the belief that the truest form of creativity requires that we look two directions at once—to the past for guidance and inspiration, and to the future with hope and purpose. The study of experiences, both individual and communal—that is to say history—prepares us to understand and articulate the present, and to create our future— to face challenges and to seize opportunities. Sponsored by the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City, the Series is not intended to be a continuation of Charlie’s popular Midcontinent Perspectives, but does share his primary goal: to encourage reflection and discourse on issues vitally important to our region. The topic of the lectures may vary, but our particular focus is on understanding how historical developments affect and inform our region’s present and future. The Lectures will be presented by persons from the Kansas City region semi- annually in April, near the anniversary of Charlie’s birth, and in October. Additionally, presentations may occur at other times of the year, if opportunities present themselves. WHMC-KC appreciates the substantial financial underwriting and support for this Series provided by the Charles N. Kimball Fund of the Midwest Research Institute and by other friends of Charlie Kimball. 1911-1994 © WHMC-KC, 2003 Carol A Mickett October 22, 2002 Page 1 INTRODUCTION to the October 22, 2002 Charles N. Kimball Lecture David Boutros Associate Director, WHMC-KC History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquity. Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 AD - 43 AD), Pro Publio Sestio Good afternoon. I am David Boutros, Associate Director of the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City, host of the Charles N. Kimball Lecture series. Today’s lecture deviates from our usual fair, but it comes from the same cloth. As you have heard from me before, the purpose of this series is to engage in discussions of today’s issues informed by trends and processes of the past—by history. Our previous speakers have been those involved in their topics—Albert P. Mauro, The Development of Hospital Hill; James M. Kemper, Community Banks and Their Role in Civic Planning; Vicki Noteis, Kansas City’s Planning Legacy; Kala Stroup, Kansas City and Higher Education—to name but four of the thirteen who have stood before you. But today you will hear instead about the gathering of memories in a different form, though for the same purpose. I just returned from a conference where a crusty old South Dakota local historian was the keynote speaker before an audience of archivists. The cowboy pulled a six gun from his briefcase, waved it in the air, and announce to the startled group, “I couldn’t do nothing about getting you in here, but I can dang sure keep you from leaving!” He then launched into a string of tales about cavalry and Indians and carving Presidents’ heads out of a mountain. In the middle of this he brought himself up short and told about how the Lakota tribe would move their villages and one person was selected to transport a bit of fire from the old location to the new. Fire was important to Indian life because it was over it that the cooks prepared meals, it was near it that they lay their beds to be warm and safe, and it was around the fire that they shared their lives in tales, and thoughts, and debates. The Keeper of the Fire was an important role, and here the cowboy said, “you archivists, you historians are the Keepers of our Fire. Thank you.” Today you will hear, and see, a bit of the embers of Kansas City’s fire that we have collected. The idea for this project came from Nancy Beer Tobin, a relatively new Kansas Citian, who thought this an important task to be part of the KC150 celebration. Almost © WHMC-KC, University of Missouri, 2003 Carol A Mickett October 22, 2002 Page 2 three years ago she attended the History subcommittee of KC150 chaired by Jonathan Kemper and offered the idea and her time to make it happen. It was an important idea and I committed the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City to help make it a reality. We raised an initial $60,000 for phase one, purchased equipment, and started doing interviews. This project, however, was, and is, very demanding logistically, with the scheduling of interviewees, interviewers, and camera operators. At that point, help came from one of our advisors, Carol Mickett, who was experienced and willing to take on refocusing the project. I first met Carol when she was one of the producers/researchers and interviewer for Uniquely Kansas City: a History of the Arts, funded by Jeannette Nichols and the Nichols family, and produced for KCPT. I was impressed with Carol’s grasp of the topic—which was not surprising because of her involvement with the arts community, particularly through her show on the arts on the community radio station, KKFI. But more than that, I was impressed with her interview technique and style. Collecting oral history is not as easy as sticking a microphone in someone’s face, or pointing a camcorder at them. Oral history is a dialogue—albeit a one-sided dialogue—in which the interviewer guides the interviewee into the past. Carol is a very good interviewer who asks historically useful questions and keeps the conversation on track. Moreover, for the benefit of our project, she is organized and methodical, and a hard worker who enjoys doing interviews. I want to thank again Nancy Beer Tobin, and also the other members of the History Speaks advisory committee: Richard L. Berkley – Former Mayor, Kansas City, MO Gene T. Chávez, EdD. – President, Chávez and Associates Mary Cohen, PhD – U.S. Department of Education John Dillingham – President & Director, Dillingham Enterprises Jonathan Kemper – CEO, Commerce Bank Cydney E. Millstein – Principal, Architectural and Historical Research Mike Murphy – Producer, KCPT Bruce Pennington – Principal, ©mega Communications Genevieve Robinson, O.S.D., PhD – Rockhurst University Rowena Stewart, PhD – Executive Director, 18th and Vine Authority I would also like to thank the foundations who have supported this project: the Hall Family Foundation, the William T. Kemper Foundation, the Francis Families Foundation, the Sosland Foundation, and the Mason L. Dean Foundation (Bank of America). As an aside, I should add here that we are seeking additional funds to undertake phase two and would welcome any contributions or advise you might have. Others besides Nancy and Carol have contributed their time and talents to History Speaks: as interviewers, Gene Chavez, Donna Davis, Dory DeAnglo, Janice Lee, and Brent Schondelmeyer. And as videographers, Angela C. Colina, Greg German, Brian Harty, Zico Orozco, and Nancy Piraquive. © WHMC-KC, University of Missouri, 2003 Carol A Mickett October 22, 2002 Page 3 Lastly, I would like to thank all those who agreed to be interviewed and share their memories and experiences not just with us, but with the community, present and future. To date there are 117—too many for me to name. There is a handout on the table that lists them or you can find it though our website, www.umkc.edu/WHMCKC/. Again, thank you for attending today’s presentation, History Speaks: Visions and Voices of Kansas City’s Past. Carol . Carol Mickett in the KKFI studio, 1998. © WHMC-KC, University of Missouri, 2003 Carol A Mickett October 22, 2002 Page 4 The History Speaks Project: Vision and Voices of Kansas City’s Past1 Carol A. Mickett, Ph.D. Director, The History Speaks Project October 22, 2002 Over the last year, I have had the privilege of interviewing almost one hundred Kansas Citians: friends, acquaintances, people of whom I had only heard, and people of whom I had never heard until their name got on my list.2 I started interviewing in February of this year, 2002, with the intention of doing approximately 35 interviews in order to get the History Speaks project back on its feet. I was to give one month of my life, and then I was out. Well, ha! During that month, I interviewed James Kemper, Alvin Brooks, Robert Farnsworth, Ruth Margolin, Leonard Pryor, Far Ling and Richard Ng, Al Mauro, John Ulhman, Patricia Ulhman Rich, Dick Belger, Charlie Wheeler, Angelo Diaz, Wilbur Niewald, Myra Morgan, Gertrude Keith, Bill Hickok, Sandy Schermerhorn, James Nutter—just to name a few. I was hooked. Of course, it was fascinating. Of course, it was fun to meet all these people and to be with some old friends. But that’s not what kept me at it. What I got was to experience the “soul” of Kansas City. Now you may think that I’ve just made an extreme claim, but I haven’t. What happens when you listen to a person for at least two hours and ask that person questions about what he or she has just said or what you’ve always wanted to know about that person is that the person opens up and reveals his or her story.

  • The Raphael Fact Sheet
    News The Raphael Fact Sheet Address 325 Ward Parkway (at Wornall Road) Kansas City, Missouri 64112 http://www.raphaelkc.com Telephone: 816.756.3800 Facsimile: 816.802.2131 Toll Free Reservations: 800.821.5343 Online Reservations: autographcollectionhotels.com Location The Raphael Hotel is ideally situated on a tree-lined boulevard overlooking the Brush Creek water parkway and the Country Club Plaza, Kansas City’s premier shopping, dining and cultural district. The hotel provides convenient access to the city’s major attractions, including the downtown arts, business and convention district, cultural attractions and parks. History The property was originally opened in 1928 as an apartment building known as the Villa Serena. In 1974, the J.C. Nichols Company purchased and renovated the nine-story, Italian Renaissance Revival style structure. It was reborn The Raphael in September, 1975. The complete renovation preserved the building’s vintage style and classic design while providing for modern comforts expected by contemporary business and pleasure travelers. When it opened, The Raphael helped pioneer a “boutique hotel” trend. The concept, revolutionary at the time, was designed to create individualistic hotels with European charm, character and intimacy; offer personalized service; and exceptional value. In 2005, The Raphael was purchased by Lighthouse Properties, a hospitality development and management company owned by the Walker family of Salina, Kansas. In 2007, management began the most extensive restoration of the property since its 1975 conversion. The project, completed in December, 2010, included new construction in guest rooms, including plumbing, heating, ventilation and cooling; new bathroom features and fixtures; completely new guest room decor, including carpet, beds and bedding, furniture, art and amenities; refurbished corridors; the addition of a new fitness center and a 24-hour business center; restoration and enhancements to the lobby; and refinements to the patio.

  • Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance
    Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City By Lance Russell Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Johns, Chair Professor Paul Groth Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Louise Mozingo Fall 2016 Abstract Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance Russell Owen Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Johns, Chair Between the World Wars, Kansas City, Missouri, achieved what no American city ever had, earning a Janus-faced reputation as America’s most beautiful and most corrupt and crime-ridden city. Delving into politics, architecture, social life, and artistic production, this dissertation explores the geographic realities of this peculiar identity. It illuminates the contours of the city’s two figurative territories: the corrupt and violent urban core presided over by political boss Tom Pendergast, and the pristine suburban world shaped by developer J. C. Nichols. It considers the ways in which these seemingly divergent regimes in fact shaped together the city’s most iconic features—its Country Club District and Plaza, a unique brand of jazz, a seemingly sophisticated aesthetic legacy written in boulevards and fine art, and a landscape of vice whose relative scale was unrivalled by that of any other American city. Finally, it elucidates the reality that, by sustaining these two worlds in one metropolis, America’s heartland city also sowed the seeds of its own destruction; with its cultural economy tied to political corruption and organized crime, its pristine suburban fabric woven from prejudice and exclusion, and its aspirations for urban greatness weighed down by provincial mindsets and mannerisms, Kansas City’s time in the limelight would be short lived.

  • Alternatives Analysis Auditorium Plaza Garage Kansas City, Missouri
    850 West Jackson Boulevard, Suite 310 Chicago, IL 60607 312.633.4260 walkerconsultants.com August 20, 2019 Mr. Bruce Campbell Manager – ParkSmart KC City of Kansas City, Missouri City Hall, 414 E. 12th Street Kansas City, MO 64106 Re: Alternatives Analysis Auditorium Plaza Garage Kansas City, Missouri Dear Mr. Campbell: Walker Consultants (“Walker”) sincerely appreciates the opportunity to provide the accompanying parking alternatives analysis for the Auditorium Plaza Garage beneath Barney Allis Plaza in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The City of Kansas City (“KCMO”) leadership, in support of continuous community improvement, wants to ensure public access to local destinations through strategic improvements and overall enhancements to the delivery of public parking services. KCMO engaged Walker to study site and area parking needs under current and future conditions and evaluate a few of the best ways to meet those needs. The following report provides an understanding the current parking needs in the immediate area, potential impacts of pending development, and how best to meet needs (as defined by KCMO priority). Groundwork from the proposed CBD Parking Study was used to provide insight into current and future supply and demand. This analysis was performed to speak specifically to the best way to balance parking needs once the Auditorium Plaza Garage is removed from service – replacing in-kind, partial replacement (balance of parking need accommodated nearby), or no replacement (entire parking need accommodated nearby). The alternatives analysis would consider quantitative and qualitative factors weighted by stakeholder input to inform recommendations. We look forward to engaging further with KCMO to provide excellent service and value-added insight from Walker’s years of experience in the parking industry.

  • Annual Report 2006
    The Francis Family Foundation Brighter futures for all generations... 2006 Introduction. Since 1913, when Parker Browne Francis II first launched the Oxygen Gas Company in Kansas City, Missouri, the Francis family has continued to be an inspirational and influential force in the Kansas City metropolitan area. In 1951, as the company grew and developed into a major national manufacturer and supplier of industrial and medical gases, Parker B. Francis II established a foundation bearing his name to help promote education and research in the fields of anesthesiology and related pulmonary sciences. Parker B. Francis III also established a foundation to fund his interests in education, and arts and culture. Since the two foundations merged in 1989 to become the Francis Family Foundation, the pattern of grantmaking made today still reflects the interests of the founding donors. For more information about the history of the Francis Family Foundation, please visit www.francisfoundation.org. Today, thanks to the vision of Parker B. Francis and his son John B. Francis, the Francis Family Foundation celebrates 56 years of philanthropy, including the funding of the Parker B. Francis Pulmonary Fellowship Program and support of educational and arts programs geographically located within the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. It is in the context of this history that our 2006 Annual Report honors the accomplishments of more than 180 grants representing a social investment of more than $6.4 million. While John B. Francis and his wife Mary Harris Francis are both deceased, stewardship of the Foundation was passed to their children – Ann F. Barhoum, David V.
