A great article in the NYT about how in Kansas City, Kan., the poor area of town is being denied high-speed internet access due to a lack of money, understanding of the service, and various other reasons that would affect the effort in any mostly black, urban center across this nation.
But in the east-end of K.C., there are drives of various sorts and grants provided for users organized by local citizens and leaders with Google in the community. These drives are the best way to get access to recent technology to the poor which could help bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots in K.C.
