Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

Most white Americans are not familiar with the concept of ‘racial passing’. The idea is simple enough; an individual from a particular racial group is perceived as belonging to another and lives their life according to that assumption, but the reality of ‘passing’ is complex, troubling and often incredibly dangerous. In Kim Johnson’s latest young adult novel, The Color of a Lie , we meet a family in postwar America who feels compelled to ‘pass’ to capture their piece of the American dream.
