The Flood of 1951 Dredges up old Memories
-
Description
-
According to Leo Ayal, Jr., an important effect of the flood of 1951 which is often overlooked is its role in ending segregation of Hispanics in Kansas City, Kansas. Before the flood, Hispanics could only live in certain areas and attend certain schools. The Alvarado case of 1953 and the civil rights movement continued this trend of breaking down discrimination.
