Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸
Look at the news today I guess they had the right idea way back then
I wish the video wasn't so long and dry as growing up in the near suburbs I noticed at a very young age how poor public transportation in the area was for everyone, let alone the racial implications. It's not a criticism, it takes time and money to produce documentaries but it would make a good one done differently.
I find the story a little difficult to understand since usually public transportation is worse in rich suburbs but there are usually bus routes through poor areas.
