Hi all! My name is Kyle Deeken and I am very excited to be the new Site Editor for Missouri and Kansas MileSplit!. Many of you in Missouri may already know me as a contributor and stats associate - focused primarily on Missouri - for the better part of the last seven years.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
