The barbecue industry in KC was largely built on Black business owners who capitalized on the location near the baseball stadium for the Kansas City Monarchs, which was the Negro League Baseball team for the city, as well as the nearby jazz clubs. It's an interesting story that is much deeper than just being a bunch of barbecue restaurants.

No, the intro to the article explains what you just said, and also the importance of The Negro Motorist Green Book. Did you read beyond the intro?

When the Nazi regime chose to not invade Switzerland during World War II, the small country became a refuge for social groups under attack, including Europe's LGBT community.
