In 1962, a Kinloch police officer serving a warrant shot and killed a teenager from Kinloch. Both the officer and the teenager were Black. The shooting sparked riots and more shootings.

But it also led to the development of an outreach program for high school students in Kinloch. In 1963, KSDK put on a special highlighting that program. Today, we take a look back at the similarities we’re still seeing today.
