The Urban League of Greater Kansas City hosted an Urban Summit meeting on Friday to discuss the recent closure of the Sun Fresh Market at East 31st Street and Prospect in Kansas City.

The 90-minute call featured speakers Emmet Pierson Jr., CEO of Community Builders of Kansas City, Kiki Curls, a Community Builders board member and former member of the Missouri Senate, and Melissa Robinson, 3rd District Councilwoman in Kansas City, Missouri.
