The Dixie Belle Bar is lauded, perhaps, as one of the most nostalgic places for Kansas City's LGBT nightlife from 1983 to 2006[^1]–but it was also once one of Kansas City's most racist queer establishments. On July 27, 1993, Yul Stell, a Black organizer with [Men Of All Colors Together--Kansas City](https://kansascitydefender.com/lgbtqia2/men-of-all-colors-together/), penned an open letter to the Dixie Belle [^2]. In the letter, he condemned the bar for displaying a confederate flag and called out racial practices the bar upheld–requiring that Black folk show four to five pieces of identification for entry into the establishment and placing a quota on Black folk who could be in the bar at one-time[^3]. Since the bar closed in 2006, Dixie Belle has developed a cult-like following: former patrons have hosted throwback events and posted nostalgic photos, and the bar was most recently featured as a stop on the Kansas City Rainbow Tour [^4].
