curiousKC: Winning Access to Fairyland Park

QUESTION: Did Fairyland Park, for decades a popular amusement park in rigidly segregated Kansas City, have a day, or days, set aside each year, around Labor Day, for African Americans to patronize it? ANSWER: Yes - although the practice, which may have begun in 1932, evolved over time.

    1. Yep. And now there is not a trace of it left, except for some pillars and a retaining wall. The younger generation has not even heard of it.

  2. Yep and they ruined Swope too. Now it's on to Westport, Plaza, and Crossroads.

  3. Hey, I thought the opposition to renaming the Paseo after Martin Luther King used as a main argument that he never came to Kansas City? And yet the article substantiates that he did. As usual, the racist TKC commentators were lying. Again.

  8. The lesson learned from this is probably too late to save Worlds of Fun. Have to keep certain people out.

  9. With the markets crashing and an incompetent administration botching the virus response, it's nice TKC posted some old fashioned comfort food for the racist geezers.

    Vent on losers, if it helps dull today's pain.

  11. Do we need a reminder to know how sick, demented and mentally ill white people are..? They’ll gladly take Black organs to sustain their life when they’ve abused their own to the point of mortality. No, we don’t. Every day examples are everywhere. We don’t need a flashback in time.

  12. Fair play on that comment. Kansas City rejects hatred. All humans are created equal!
