oklahoma and you're an oklahoma based company, you must be licensed as a funeral director. and kim was not. now she could have gone back to earn this license. but it require her to go to school for two years. she would have to complete an internship during which time involve 25 bodies. then she would have to have a brick-and-mortar business in which she would have a -- selection room, a preparation room, a viewing room, and she would have to have inventory on hand. none of which they were interested in. as if it were not ire ration gnat enough to require a funeral license to sell a box that's what a casket is a empty box. the law also created a circumstance where -- oklahoma based company had had to sell to consumers in oklahoma but companies outside of the state who sold to consumers in oklahoma did not have to have a funeral directors license. so kim could have taken her business which was essentially computer servers she could have taken her servers and moved across state line to kansas. and there she could have sold caskets to consumers in oklahoma all day it long. but

what was going on in oklahoma during this time? >> the question was about another underreported story by the tulsa race riots. they took place in 1921. some of the worst race riots in this country. the ku klux klan had a large presence and in other states as well. the frontier had a lawless quality but when you read the documents the prejudice was not unique to oklahoma. when you read the congressional hearings debating what to do to get a sense of how widespread the prejudice was. they're very fragile legal institutions at that time. i don't want to politicize the book but one of the things i realize is that the country was incredibly lawless. we spent many decades trying to build up and create them. there's a central thing i took away was how important it is that we are country of loss. whether an impartial judicial system. when you read what happened back then whether it was race riots are with the osage murders, it drives at home and not to be taken for granted. >> i'm a member of the osage tribe. i wonder if we can have a show

kim is actually from oklahoma. she started her first business there, a funeral business but she had to leave oklahoma when she ran afoul of the law. turns out they cam was engaged in a very dangerous practice of selling caskets without a funeral director's license. before that in the early 1980s cam was on the executive fast-tracked preaching troponin family apart working up a nurse. she learned the relationship between hard work and success and after she left college she enjoyed a lot of success in a number of different businesses and eventually ended up at one of the nations of largest funeral companies and their she sold premade funeral services. she combined her drive in business with her desire to help people through her work and as before she was very successful in that business. but after a few years she began to notice there was a need, to a niche to filled, classic entrepreneur and that was she saw the funeral industry, the merchandise that was sold was locked up a significant amount. caskets would be mark
