Episode Details

In Wichita, a passionate nonprofit is uncovering forgotten history by locating unmarked graves—especially at Highland Cemetery—with help from Wichita State researchers and community grants. They’ve identified Richard Robinson, the only Black signer of Wichita’s original charter, whose absence from historical records is being corrected. His legacy lives on through his son, the city’s first Black fire captain—yet neither has a headstone. This grassroots effort, fueled by volunteers and recent donations including a $1,200 check from KWCH and DeVaughn James Injury Lawyers, honors those erased from memory and reminds us: sometimes, the deepest stories lie beneath the soil.
