Tonight, Chief Sullivan joined Mayor Lily Wu, Parks and Recreation Director Reggie Davidson, and several churches and local nonprofits at The Kansas African American Museum (TKAAM) for a Youth Program Discussion.

The focus was simple:

How can we work together to provide young people with safe places, strong support, and positive programs this summer?

This is what partnership looks like.

Thank you to Shane Carter for providing the space and Pastor Odell Harris for putting this together.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.
