This was crucial to desegregation of Kansas City Missouri public facilities, the election of many black Missouri State Representatives since 1963, the "strong" candidacy of Bruce R.

The organization was reportedly the brainchild of Leon M. Jordan and Bruce R. Watkins, who were elected its first chairman and co-chairman, respectively. (en) Freedom, Inc. ou Freedom, Incorporated of Kansas City Missouri est une organisation politique fondée en 1961 par cinq militants politiques afro-américains, Bruce Watkins, Howard Maupin, Charles Moore, Fred Curls, Leon Jordan. Elle joua un rôle crucial dans la déségrégation des infrastructures publiques de Kansas City, dans l'élection de nombreux représentants noirs à la Chambre des représentants du Missouri depuis 1963, la candidature de Bruce R. Watkins à la mairie de Kansas City en 1978-1979, l'élection de Alan Wheat en 1982 (le premier membre noir du Congrès à représenter un district majoritairement blanc dans la région métropolitaine du Grand Kansas, Missouri ), l'élection d'Emmanuel Cleaver comme premier maire noir de Kansas City en 1991, et - selon de nouvelles informations rapportées sur KKFI le 18 février 2012 lors d'une interview du réalisateur Emiel Cleaver - aurait peut-être permis l'élection des "Premiers maires noirs" à la Nouvelle-Orléans, en Louisiane et dans d'autres grandes villes américaines. L'organisation aurait été la grande idée de Leon M. Jordan et Bruce R. Watkins, qui furent élus premier président et coprésident respectivement. (fr) |
