It’s Election Day in Kansas City and the polls are now CLOSED. I’ll be monitoring election results all night. Hopefully in a few hours we’ll be able to say who will make up our 12-member city council for the next four years.

I love this story. So much movement and joy. I'm inspired by the resilience of these teens and their ability to work through trauma through art. I hope it was as rewarding for @KGrumke to report as it was for me to read. news.stlpublicradio.org/educ…
