“The Pistol” is a gripping documentary that delves into the real-life accounts of notorious gangster Kenneth Rayford. Directed by Paul Rayford, the film details the exploits of Kenneth Rayford from his time as a youth growing up on the mean streets of Kansas City, Missouri up to adulthood when he ran the streets of Kansas City. Through interviews with Kenneth himself, his accomplices, and actual news footage the documentary reveals the life of a real-underworld crime figure. “The Pistol” paints a compelling portrait of a man who literally dedicated his entire life to the criminal underworld, maintained a solid reputation, and actually lived to talk about it.

Take a free gun lock for yourself or someone else – no questions asked! Meet neighbors, enjoy the beauty of the pocket park, and eat and drink orange snacks!

First Friday, June 7th, wear orange! Kansas City will join the nation in bringing heightened awareness of the impact of gun violence. A feature of National Gun Violence Awareness Day is the campaign to “wear orange”(the color used by hunters to prevent being shot). In addition to wearing orange, area businesses in office buildings are asked to illuminate those buildings in orange and the color is infused through a range of activities, restaurants and more. The KCMO Health Department is one of the partners in this year’s “wear orange” campaign through its Let’s WIN KC initiative for mental and emotional health..are
This initiative addresses anxiety and depression but also the areas of anger management and conflict resolution–a leading contributor to homicides. In this space, the Let’s WIN KC initiative is particularly focused on preventing the LOSSES in our community–loss of lives to our overall peace–and moving to a WINNING state.
Organizations in the KC metro are asked to sign-up at letswinkc.com/wearorange to list their organization as a supporter, and can add their logos for recognition. Participants in the “wear orange” campaign will share the events and resources that will be featured throughout the campaign. One of the events for the wear orange campaign will take place on 18th & Vine as part of the monthly First Fridays activities.
Stay tuned for more information.
