The Kansas City Chiefs celebrated Black History Month on Friday afternoon by exploring the Black Archives of Mid-America in the historic 18th and Vine district along with a handful of local high school football players.
Chiefs’ Vice President of Communications Ted Crews and Ambassador Kevin Lockett joined the athletes from nearby Lincoln College Prep Academy at the museum, which addresses the influences of African-Americans in the Kansas City community throughout history.
“This was a chance to learn about the community in which we live, and not just for the students from Lincoln Prep, but for me, too,” Lockett said.
