host: all right, lynchburg, virginia. hi, dee. dee, you're up. caller: hello, how you doing? host: well, go ahead with your thoughts on justice ginsburg. caller: i think she should lie in state because she was a good lady and everything. she was the sweetest thing she could be. host: dee, over the years, what has stood out about her that ou remember her? caller: because she loved everybody and everybody loved her. host: patricia in temple, georgia. caller: i think r.b.g. is an icon and she should not be -- they shouldn't put anybody else in her place because of the election is over. that was her dying wish. and they should respect her. she was a very good judge. she was fair with everyone. host: all right. we'll leave it there and bring you to our coverage of justice, the late justice ruth bader ginsburg lying in state at the u.s. capitol.

this is dot braden, from lynchburg, virginia, not far from my hometown of roanoke, virginia. she was teaching school in 1942, eldest daughter in a family of four, mom a single mother, her mother, her parents were separated, her mother was supporting their household and dot's salary of $900 a year was supporting her mother and her household, and her two younger brothers were already in the u.s. army. she was overburdened by work and what i love about her story is, it shows how the u.s. army recruiting strategy was wrongheaded, even as it worked. the army approach to recruiting schoolteachers was to send their handsomest young army officers out to lurk in post offices and hotels throughout the south at first, eventually all over the country, with the idea that schoolteachers would see a handsome, young officer, and think, if i go to washington to do war work, i can make a marriage to a man who looks like that. so marriage was much on the military's mind when it was recruiting these young women to come to washington. but dot was trying to get out of a marriage that she was not i

i've been to lynchburg, i've been to lynchburg.r was born a slave, he was a devout baptist minister. the other reason i accepted the invitation, i wanted to talk about the importance of morality in leadership for some time now. they reached out to me after i was in lynchburg to talk to the naacp last year, i thought it was the perfect venue for delivering such an address. we filmed it last week and it will be shown to approximately 10,000 students in about three hou hours. i have to say i did not draw the line in the political sand but i did talk about the importance of telling the truth. rule number one of leadership, tell the truth. treat others as you would have them treat you. be inclusive. be collaborative in leadership. and never ask someone to do something you wouldn't do yourself. and i can't speak for the school, but i think it did resonate, it will resonate well with the students when they hear it. >> jeh johnson, thank you very much. >> mr. secretary thank you so much for doing that. i'm sure that's something the student

[ bell ] his name was known around lynchburgt him how to make whiskey on this farm. >> the only reason any of us know about nearest green is because jack made sure when he was alive that everyone knew nearest was so integral to what he did. >> reporter: weaver is honoring green's legacy while making some history of her own. as the first female and black ceo of a major spirit brand. but, she says, that's not enough. >> we can't diversify our industry if we're not getting any resumes. >> reporter: she's teaming one jack damages to create the nearest and jack advancement initiative. a $5 million project that aims to increase diversity and promote african-american leadership in whiskey. >> black enslaved people were so skilled at distilling. then we have prohibition, we come on the other side, we've got other options. generally speaking, african-americans are not going to choose to go into industries in which our ancestors did not have a choice in the matter. so you will not see us in tobacco, you will not see us in cotton, you will

dagen: mayor, i grew up in virginia family still lives there southeast of lynchburg you are two hoursrt of the problem the students who are there, who are on campus, not really willing to go out, so it is it about finding that fineline of encouraging people to pay -- local businesses in a patronize local businesses in a safe way that partly willingness he partly being fair, on theed to be very clear about the situation. we have put emergency powers in place so that we can continue to host the students that we love and university can continue functions but we need to do it safely, this will probably be our indefinite future i maintain "ours" nationally restaurants brewers operating 50% capacity to maintain social distancing, we have reduced allowable gatherings to lower than 50, then university imposed, limit of 15 we fell in line with that we the town, that is because we think it is very, very important to us to have consistent and yun formed messaging, very important in emergency situation. . >> we have -- face coverings ordinance so people need to be when they are with exceptions fo
