Kansas City mayor faces racist threats over mask rule
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, a Black leader, said he received racist text messages after mandating masks when six feet of distance cannot be kept. The texts included a slur and a call to “swing from a tree.” Masks are in effect until at least July 12 amid protests linked to George Floyd’s death. Police comment sought.
