Interview with Jim Nunnelly, a community leader, radio host, newspaper columnist, and member of the Monday Nite Footballers. Nunnelly discusses his experiences at the University of Missouri, participating in a sit-in at a Columbia restaurant, moving to Kansas City to work with Dr. Samuel Rodgers at the Wayne Miner Health Clinic, the numerous challenges in connecting people to healthcare resources, the role of housing in healthcare access, crime prevention, drug treatment vs. incarceration, and his view "that budgets and movements go hand in hand."
He also discusses the Monday Nite Footballers as a group of men who came of age through integration and understood there was more work to do, starting their Kansas City Call column at the suggestion of Lucile Bluford, and describes the group as united by their shared interest in football and longstanding friendships, but that their mission is to prepare and "protect the upcoming generation."
