Some of the best neighborhoods east of Troost are from 49th to 63rd street. There was a very strong neighborhood association that went from 49-63 and Oak (?) to the Paseo that was key in fighting much of the blockbusting and other activities that drive white neighbors from their homes. Here's an amazing read on what went down in KC (the other two main stories are about other cities and school districts, but still an awesome read): Some of My Best Friends Are Black: The Strange Story of Integration in America https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143123637/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4dUyzbZ3KVFST
If you want to read a well-researched but interesting book that explains this trend I recommend the book Some of my Best Friends are Black. It focuses on Birgminham Alabama where the author grew up. He was a writer for Saturday Night Live and veered into the serious category.
