Jesse has passed on, and now his brother John is keeping the history of Old Quindaro alive within the walls of this old stone house in far north Kansas City Kansas. Many of the slaves settled right there, and eventually Quindaro became a thriving community that was home to several hotels, many Black-owned businesses, beautiful stone homes and Western University, the only Historically Black College west of the Mississippi. All of the Quindaro history, even the very site itself, would have been lost had it not been for the Jesse and the Concerned Citizens of Old Quindaro.
