It was fine day in Kansas City and also busy day. We were flying to Chicago this noon, but we had schedule to visit downtown of Kansas City.

We checked out our hotel around 8AM, and then we went to Downtown by car. We visited Union station of Kansas City first. It was really huge and beautiful.

Next, we visited Negro Leagues Baseball Museum(NLBM). Negro league means professional baseball leagues from all black player between 1920 and 1960's in USA. I knew about Jackie Robinson, but didn't know much about Negro league and racial discrimination. Well, I don't think that we could understand 100% about these problems. However, I think to pay attention them from now and understand little by little.

Anyway, we could understand there was a professional baseball team, Monarchs, in Kansas City. (Jackie Robinson was member from this team.)
