Wichita Journalism Collaborative

The four storytellers who shared their visions and challenges at "Testing the American Dream" on Tuesday provided us with much to consider. Standing on a stage, without notes, and sharing from the heart is an incredible feat and we appreciate each of them; Hugo Phan, Dalton Glasscock, Prophet Cox and Julian Azcary Montes. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Roxy's Downtown to listen, consider, reflect and discuss. We appreciate the support from our sponsors The SHOUT and League of Women Voters of Wichita Metro, our funders Wichita Foundation and the support of the Kansas Leadership Center.
