i lived in kansas city. i would love to have the stadium downtown.e have this one cultural part of our city that is maybe not like other towns because we are from the midwest and we're cattle and we're into barbecue, and you talk about football being a tailgating kind of sport. but here, tailgating is a really big part of baseball. i wonder how the general public that goes to those games and tail gates and they spend hours he talks about how book and film shaped public perception of he's the author of two books on the subject. >> i'd like to welcome you to. i am the director here. david kent. and we are very fortunate, tonight, to have esteemed

louis, they would remain in kansas city. and that they were smart, aggressive, got an enormous amount of work and just kept growing. there weren't all that many ball parks and arenas and football stadiums that get built, and it's not as though, unlike houses or office buildings or schools, what have you, it's not like we need 100 different architecture firms doing them, because if we had 100 different architecture firms doing them, 90 of them would be out of work most of the time. it's small and specialized and they were able to say to clients we know how all this stuff works, and indeed they do. that firm over the years eventually broke away from the parent firm hok, and then changed its name to populist and they're still across the street. >> does this mean we should -- >> their success had made kansas city the world capital. sports architecture is one of the majors export of kansas city. >> we're going to open this up to questions in just one second. i'm going to try to end this at 7:30 so you can come up and sign and hav

evictions happening in downtown kansas city today.e 150 eviction cases on the docket today in downtown kansas city, including at least a few kc tenantembers, including one named sabrina davis, who has already been displaced from her home. so it is important that we start there. if actions are happening, have been happening, and will continue to occur, even under this federal moratorium. and to your point, we will be in the same placehat we were on saturday, october we are just kicking the can on the road. we in the tenant movement have always known that an eviction moratorium was not going to save us. we actually need, and the biden administration and congress, need to confront the system that commodified one of our basic needs, which is our homes, tells us that our homes are just someone else's investment with every eviction we allow, whether it is during a pandemic or not. what we're doing is prioritizing one person's process over another person's life, and that is not ok. amy: we just interviewed cori bush in the midst of her prote

far from kansas city here. we have a sitting congress person representing kansas city, missouri, emanuel cleaver ii. he is an ordained methodist minister. so these kind of ways that the training ground for family is the politics. so politics becomes very, very important. anytime you're running an organization, you're engaged in politics. whether you're the school principal or you're the superintendent. you still have to bring people together. and how are you going to do that? and when there are oppositions to your point of view, these are the kind of questions that -- these are kind of the training grounds where people learn, learn they're in their politics.

that cattle drives up the trail to kansas wild bill hickok. had been the city marshal one time and so you had gunfights and everything that goes along with with a with a cow town and eisenhower really absorbed and and really enjoyed that history. coincidentally 1890 the year. he was born. so the year that the american frontier was was declared close and siri you had eisenhower coming into the world. at this transition in american history, you know from this open frontier moving into a more industrialized age. in fact, there's great symmetry in his life. he was born in the year. the frontier was declared closed and died the year that americans landed on the moon so you can see this really broad range of history at eisenhower embodied and in fact with his creation of nasa, you know helped help create that and the foundation also the foundation rather. i mean the frontier gave ike a sense of limits if if most of the freeland was gone of natural resources were in danger. of being exhausted then there had to be limits set up on expansion and upon w

i'm from kansas originally, people don't think about black people in kansas, you know? i think it's time for some new things to come about and that new book -- that old book needs to be a new book. >> let me know. >> and this information, as i said earlier, it tells a more complete history of the united states. it tells a more complete social history. and these are the things that have been left out of some of the credits of history. so that -- that is -- and she was doing it. she was teaching about other people way back when she was a teacher before she ever went to washington, d.c. she was teaching the children about other african-americans and kentuckians who had done great things who they didn't know about. the best way we can honor her, i think, is to do the same. >> yes. >> any other questions? >> yes, my question was was she denied access into the press area because she was a female, black, or was she just a member of the club, so to speak? >> because those black organizations were not credentialed. okay? so that's the big picture. they didn't -- see, it was only

they took the train from kansas to the end of the rail line which at that time was shared in kansas. and upon arrival in sheridan jennie wrote they had secured lodging above a saloon and she went onto say, well, last night we were frightened almost out of our wits. we did not get any sleep at all on account of all the noise in the bar room, the drinking and the gambling. finally they got one of the mens money away from them, and they undertook to put him outdoors. she went onto say that they commenced firing and fired about 30 shots. i laid and i shook like a leaf all night with fear. i was so afraid of thomas' men were some of them among the gang. thomas was her brother-in-law who had said he would meet them in sheridan, but he had left a few days ahead of them. but inos learned they were all part of another gang, and if any of his men are with them we're going to go by stage. that next morning the boy -- she continued and said that the boy had come with the carriage and we are to start about 10:00. they stopped at oteros and inos got a whip for the carriage. and then she said that,

and settled in kansas. she taught all the boys how to play. ike was not among the best of the students. but they all -- she taught them all. and then the quilt on the day bed closest to the camera, that was actually created by eisenhower's great grandfather and the crazy quilt pillows have the family names embroidered on them and that was made by ida. this is the place of meditation. so eisenhower, again, helped with the design development of this building. this is where he and mamie and his first born son dowd are buried. the name of it is the place of meditation. it's meant to be a moment of quiet and reflection. this is the interior space. on the floor, the slab on the left is where eisenhower is, and right as mamie. you can't actually see dowd in this photo. the camera is not situated quite right. but eisenhower also had a hand in the design or the choosing of the design for the stained glass windows and they are just splendid. this is our visitor center where -- when you come to visit us, you will star

states between kansas and missouri and the fight over should it be a slave state or not. and then people like john brown who killed people because he can. a lot you could see before the war. appalachia had been settled by those with scots irish roots, so that created a culture that was filled with endemic violence and retributive justice, where individuals were the guardians of their own self-interest. because of that, that's the mindset, the culture they're coming from, and the war really presented an opportunity for that concept to multiply unrestrained. law and order started breaking down, and so now suddenly what is already there is really bubbling up to the surface. additionally, you now have a bunch of weapons in circulation that were manufactured for the war, and so it is a lot easier to really get your hand on a weapon or multiple weapons. so all of that went into it as well. now, a historian named casey turfitiller wrote a book about something later than what we're discussing tonight, behe noted shock value always has a longer shelf life than tedious detail. that

he helped found "the kansas city times" and served as its editor.wrote editorials to persuade confederates to return to politics. he used his newspaper to provide alibis and excuses for the james brothers. he made them out to be symbols of ex-confederates and created a folk status for them. he wrote a flattering obituary and he was the one who arranged for frank james to surrender to the governor. he didn't know he was going to fully acquitted but without too much backlash there. his flattering treatment of jesse james undoubtedly formed the basis of the heroic legend still associated with the outlaw. part of that obituary reads, no one among all the hired cowards hard on the hunt for blood money dared face this wonderful outlaw. one even against 20 until he had disarmed himself and turned his back to his assassin, the first and only time in a career which has passed from the realms of an almost fabulous romance into that of history. we call him outlaw and he was but fate made him so. later he continued, when the war closed jesse james had no home.

so in kansas city in about 1961 the national baptists met in kansas city and there was a controversial action going on. so this is from the king's -- you should look at this site, the king global site. as a controversial leader of the national baptist convention, he wasn't controversial, he was elected over and over again even if he had to do it kind of semi fraudulently. he's like a political leader, right? jackson often clashed with other baptist ministers including martin luther king jr. who believed jackson's opposition to the use of civil disobedience to achieve civil rights was too conservative. so you have to persuade your people at the convention who should be in. so jackson was not an uneducated man. very sophisticated. born in mississippi, went to jackson college, which is now jackson state university, then went to colgate rochester divinity school up in rochester, new york where frederick douglass is buried. then he came out here to the midwest, went to an interesting place to get an m.a. at a jesuit school, creighton university up north from us in omaha. he was ordained as

in kansas is defense. they do have a lot of victims who have been impacted by a wide range of disasters. especially around small bill elsewhere, states like texas in delaware are setting up work release programs with the restaurant industry that will train convicts when they're in prison, then hire them once they get out. it's a group on level deal for the restaurants anyway. usually, companies have to pay trainees, but not anymore. and i'm like, all those ungrateful coven quitters living off on employment ex. cons won't have any better options, so bosses can pay them next to nothing. it will probably get awkward. shake shack when a customer asks is my order ready? i just heard buzzing, and they'll have to say no. that's just my ankle bracelet. contracts negotiated between prisons and private industries stipulate that a certain number of prisoners will always work for these companies. meaning there needs to be a certain number of people who become prisoners in the 1st place. these perverse incentives have
