SUMMARY:Voices from the Big First\, 1961-1968
DESCRIPTION:In 1961\, Kansas\, with the rest of the United States\, found itself at a political\, social\, and cultural crossroads. Featuring a selection of constituent letters written to then-Congressman Bob Dole from the collections of the Dole Archives\, this original exhibit curated by Kansas history scholar Virgil Dean offers a window into the hopes and fears of everyday Kansans as they responded to change at home and conflict abroad. \nThis exhibit and associated programs examine where Kansas has been and where it’s going to complement Humanities Kansas initiative: Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a partnership between Humanities Kansas and the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street program. Funding for the exhibit and related programs was provided by Humanities Kansas

SUMMARY:2021 SPRING | The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Dole Fellow Patrick Tuohey\nRead more about Dole Fellows >> \nThis program is made possible through the generosity of Newman’s Own Foundation \n  \n  \nThe Shifts that Shape Our Cities\, Demographic Trends\n2/24/2021 \n \nPlease join us for our first Discussion Group of the semester\, “The Shifts that Shape Our Cities\, Demographic Trends.” This program is the first of our Spring Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.\nOur Spring Discussion Groups Fellow\, Patrick Tuohey\, welcomes Wendell Cox as his special guest for this week.

He served as a visiting professor of transport at the Conservatoire National Des Arts Et Metiers (a national university) in Paris. He earned a BA in Government from California State University\, Los Angeles\, and an MBA from Pepperdine University. \n  \nTrends in Municipal Growth and Finance\n3/3/2021 \n \nCities are the engines of state and national economies\, yet in many places\, taxes and public debt are at the highest levels they’ve ever been. Are the increased costs justified by the returns on public investment in the areas of public safety and infrastructure? \nPlease join us for the second installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill Professor Whitney Afonso\, and Kansas City-based architect Dennis Strait for a conversation on what finance and budgeting look like at the local level and how these fields have adapted with time. \n  \nSegregation\, Race\, and City Policy\n3/10/2021 \n \nBeginning in the 1920s\, state and federal policy aided and abetted the segregation of Americans through housing policies\, zoning ordinances\, economic development\, and urban revitalization. Although much of these aims have been discarded\, the policies are still with us. This discussion will identify which remnants are still with us and how cities can finally put them to rest. \n“Segregation\, Race\, and City Policy” will feature our special guests\, Edward J. Pinto and Mark Treskon. Edward J. Pinto is an American Enterprise Institute (AEI) resident fellow and director of AEI’s Housing Center. The Center monitors the US markets using a unique set of Housing Market Indicators. Active in housing finance for over 40 years\, he was an executive vice president and chief credit officer for Fannie Mae until the late 1980s. Mark Treskon is a senior research associate in the Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center at the Urban Institute. His current projects include an evaluation of financial coaching programs and a study measuring the effects of arts-related initiatives on community development. Treskon has published peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on community-based planning\, home lending policy advocacy\, and the arts economy. \n  \nSubsidies in the City\n3/17/2021 \n \nThe competition among cities to woo Amazon’s new headquarters brought national attention to the use and abuse of economic development subsidies\, but the practice is not new. In fact\, the value of such subsidies is staggering and seems to show no signs of slowing. This discussion would help quantify the amount of subsidies\, how cities benefit\, and how public policy can be changed to improve outcomes for taxpayers. \nPlease join us for the fourth installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future. Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guests Heywood Sanders\, Professor of Public Administration at the University of Texas-San Antonio\, and Michael Lefaive\, Senior Director of the Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. \n  \nEffective Housing Policy\n3/24/2021 \n \nHousing policy is again capturing the national spotlight. Local policies have restricted the development of new housing stock and as a result\, in places like San Francisco and Seattle\, housing prices have skyrocketed. But even smaller cities like Kansas City have seen the impacts. What are the underlying causes of the phenomenon\, how great are the impacts\, and what policies can help alleviate the problem? \n“Effective Housing Policy” will feature our host Patrick Tuohey\, as well as special guests Emily Hamilton and Kirk McClure. Hamilton is a Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Urbanity Project at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University\, and McClure is a professor emeritus of urban planning in the University of Kansas School of Public Affairs and Administration. \n  \nOpportunities in the Gig Economy\n3/31/2021 \n \nTechnology companies such as Uber and Lyft have created opportunities for individuals to leverage their cars\, and their downtime\, to earn money on the side. Airbnb and Vrbo have done the same through short-term rentals. While these are some of the more familiar companies in the so-called gig economy\, they are by no means the only ones. What is the future of the gig economy\, and how should cities be reacting? \nPlease join us for the sixth installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guests Steve King\, Partner at Emergent Research\, and Arun Sundararajan\, Harold Price Professor of Entrepreneurship and Professor of Technology\, Operations and Statistics at New York University’s Stern School of Business. \n  \nPoverty in American Cities\n4/7/2021 \n \nCities large and small are facing some existential issues\, as we’ve covered over the past several weeks. Often they are saddled with outdated approaches or just simply bad habits. How can cities and towns learn from their mistakes and develop public policy in a way that is sustainable? \nPlease join us for the final installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guest Jesús Gerena\, CEO of Family Independence Initiative\, and Angela Rachidi\, Rowe Scholar in poverty studies at the American Enterprise Institute\, for a conversation on urban poverty and how to combat it.

SUMMARY:A Conversation on Race Part III: Baseball: The Color Barrier
DESCRIPTION:The third installment of the series “A Conversation on Race” will feature the President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Bob Kendrick\, Scout for the New York Yankees Darryl Monroe\, and will be moderated by Senior Associate Director of the Institute\, Dr. Barbara W. Ballard. \n“Since the founding of the first professional baseball league in this country\, racism has been a persistent problem\,” said Director Bill Lacy. “For the third episode of ‘A Conversation on Race\,’ we will discuss the color barrier in baseball and the courageous men who broke through. Bob Kendrick is the ideal guest to explore this topic and we look forward to what will be a fascinating and insightful evening.” \nThe program will explore the factors that made Major League Baseball a flashpoint for civil rights in 1947\, more than a decade before the marches and rallies of the 1960s. The event streams the day before Jackie Robinson Day\, in which all Major League Baseball players wear jerseys with his number “42.” This program will discuss the man who became the focus of a nation as he walked on the field as the first professional black athlete in the U.S. to shatter the color barrier. \nBob Kendrick was named President of the NLBM in March of 2011. Kendrick has been responsible for the creation of several signature museum educational programs and events including the Hall of Game\, which annually honors former MLB greats who played the game in the spirit and signature style of the Negro Leagues. Kendrick has become one of the leading authorities on the topic of Negro Leagues Baseball history and its connection to issues relating to sports\, race\, and diversity. \nDarryl Monroe graduated from Lawrence High School in 1990 and went on to play baseball at KU from 1991-1994 where he was a member of the 1993 College World Series team. He was drafted in the 9th round by the Detroit Tigers in 1994 and played 4 years of minor league baseball with the Tigers and the Independent Minor Leagues. Monroe started scouting with the Montreal Expos in 1998\, then worked in the scouting department and the player development department with the Atlanta Braves for 4 years starting in 2000. He has been working in the scouting department with the New York Yankees from 2007 till the present.
