The editor of The Kansas City Star has apologised for the newspaper’s past decades of racist coverage.
On Sunday, the Star published a series of stories examining how the newspaper ignored the concerns and achievements of Black residents in Kansas City, Missouri, throughout its history.
The newspaper, where author Ernest Hemingway started his writing career as a cub reporter, underwent the examination at the suggestion of reporter Mará Rose Williams.
The Star’s president and editor Mike Fannin said that Ms Williams’ suggestion combined with racial justice protests that took place in the summer, prompted the newspaper to analyse its coverage of Black residents from its founding in 1880.

Now if the "Red" Star would stop supporting Leftists and Commies over America. It would be good for more than the Crosswords and the Funny pages
