kansas city and amarillo in the west. both of us are native to kansas city. we were always interested in why this place felt so familiar to us. michael started looking at the number of objects in the permanent collection related to kansas city, and it turns out there were over 1000 objects and a database he pulled up. we started looking at the types of objects there were, and we found such a good array, a variety of objects, and we thought we need to do a show. kansas city in amarillo. some people might think that amarillo was looking to dallas, houston, but the closeness is around the train system and cattle industry that drew the two cities together so we tell the story of that in the show. in the 1870s cattle was being driven, meaning walked across the plains, like from tennessee where -- they're not the best beef cattle. but 1887 the railroad had cut through this area that founded amarillo. amarillo as a city did not exist until the railroad came through. by that time, there was more shipping of the cattle by the reels rather than the drives. those tattle

and so by the time that kansas city and amarillo were linked by the santa fe railroad, kansas city's cattle market started really booming on the cattle being raised in the panhandle. so we kind of helped each other to grow the cattle industry with the train connecting the two. and the other aspect is the culture and fashion and objects in the much that tell the story of going to kansas city and finding good and services that were bringing sophistication back here. even the cowboys would go shopping and buy spurs and boots in kansas city. we didn't have local business owners that could sell it -- sell those items to the cowboys. and i think people can really understand beyond this area it's a local history but also a regional history and a national history. it works on a number of levels. we have a newspaper from kansas city that's dated to the era of the border boom of oil. border is a town northwest of amarillo. there was oil discovered in the town and there was a huge influx of investment. so what we have in this image is kansas city newspaper. and so this idea that the little wond

louis and kansas city are beginning to lift restrictions. this is a good thing.e cannot let our guard down and we still must understand to open up the economy and fight the virus. we have to remember that this virus is still out there and we must continue to protect ourselves and others. continue to social distance. continue to use common sense and make safe and smart decisions. as long as we will continue to do this, missouri will continue to improve. i will say again, and i have said many times before, to fight this virus, it is going to take everyone in the state to do their part, which means it goes back to your responsibility as individuals. a government will only do so much. at the end of the day, it is up to all of us to do a better job at social distancing and keep in mind the viruses out there and keep in mind the economy has to go. we have to get people back to work and that is what we are going to do in this state. thanks everybody for being here today and god bless. let me let dr. williams,. he wants to give an update. if you want to ask questions, as

and so what we have in this image is kansas city newspaper featuring amarillo as the wonder city of the texas panhandle. so the idea that the little amarillo city was the wonder city of the texas panhandle, that is something that today sounds old fashioned but i think it was very true back then. we also have a blueprint above and it is by an architect that i think deserves his own study. we have an image of the united states with the city of amarillo that is larger than any other city and it is showing the networking of amarillo as a crossroads. it also says ideal location for capital and industries. and you can see it is just one straight shot of a line and it is a quicker line to dallas. so these two objects help tell that story. so we're standing in front of another object that was an artist that was an architect. he studied for a few years in kansas, for college, and then he got a job at the santa fe railroad. when he didn't get the raid he wanted after a few years of very good work. he found his own firm and basically he lived out his life being a am riarillo citizen. here is his s

in kansas city, as in most places nationwide, influenza arrived by way of an army camp. there were two army motor schools here, near the city and that is where fluenza first ememerged. city leaders, and including the public health officials, trying to calm the public, which again was a common response. and suggested, don't worry decisions will be fine. of course that was not true. just as it was not true anywhere else in the country. by late september, the army was in quarantined, and about 1000 people were down the illness. kansas city, the department of health continue to noun downplayed the risks, until they could not any longer. finally on october 7th, there was a major health emergency taking place. they closed schools, churches, theaters and banned public gatherings of any group. that is important to notice, because you could keepep some things open to the. you could keep those open, and they did. unfortunately, there was some infighting among the public health folks here in kansas city, so shortly after they put these r restrictions in place, they were removed. of

then settling here in kansas city to raise me and my brother and sister. i know that you have made it your part of your business to tell people firsthand what happened and i wonder what what happens to that history what happens to the stories when you are gone and this is. i am speaking about speaking up and i will tell you what to prompt me. it was an awakening for me when i heard skinheads denying it never happened it was just like a tongue there and to my brain to my mind to say hey sonia. this was the reason you survived you have to speak for them. in better than our streets when one day when we are count that and s.s. men went door to door duros and just you know how to talk our numbers and they start calling all of those numbers where they supposed to go to the guest i used to say to my daughter if i reach one hard company something my greatest fulfillment is speaking to a disturbance in schools because this is our future generation and then in their few minutes when you see this horrible horrible. clouds. from the chimney. so you can imagine i don't

this is kansas city, missouri, another city that we're not used to hearing about having these kinds oftests and demonstrations but here we are we've been not going to different cities across the country and this is a new one for us, kansas city you can see police gathered in the middle of the street. it looks like there's a fire on the right side of your screen. i see a burst of smoke may be just now putting it out. we don't know exactly where this is we're getting these live feeds from all over the country but this is kansas city where protests continue there and in dozens of cities across the country. >>kron four's jonathan mccall is live in our newsroom. he has been monitoring the social media feeds about what's happening across the country. jonathan bring us up today real quick i just want to emphasize something i before i came to the bay area i actually worked in kansas city if we want to go back to that picture that area where they are at it's called the plaza it's a very heavily shopping area and for the last few days i've been monitoring the situation that's been unfolding from
