- Abstract
Despite that success, Pitts still feels that KTI itself should bereopened, describing the school as an heirloom that has yet tobe returned to its rightful owner: the city's Black community ofthe past, present, and future. Pitts, for instance, recalls giving a presentation at the facilitywhile it was still a co-ed prison and stumbling across a schoolbench dedicated to a KTI sorority. Not long after moving to Topeka, Kansas, in the early 1980s,community organizer Curtis Pitts learned about a hidden slice ofthat city's history that would come to shape his life's work overthe next four decades.
