KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As hundreds of people gathered in Kansas City’s Northland over the weekend to demand justice for Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager shot by a white homeowner in Clay County, Nicole Price heard a shout come from a passing car.
“Trump 2024!” a man who appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s yelled at the crowd.
Price has lived in the Northland, the vast expanse of Kansas City north of the Missouri River, for more than a decade. But Price, who is Black and owns a leadership development company, said her perception of safety has eroded in recent years amid increasing instances of “prejudice and bigotry and subtle acts of exclusion.”
