maura barrett is in harrisburg, pennsylvania, and catie beck in richmond, virginia. let's start with you, catie. >> hey, good morning. yeah, here in richmond, virginia, security preparations are already under way on capitol square. as you said there's plywood over the windows and doors of our state capitol and you can see temporary fencing has gone up and barricades are being put up today. we expect more street closures as tomorrow approaches which is when folks are expecting the most action to occur. there's sort of another event also coinciding with this week's inauguration here in richmond, and that is going to be lobby day tomorrow. here at the state capitol, this is a tradition at the start of the legislative session. different advocacy groups show up on capitol square to lobby their causes. typically thousands of people flood capitol square from many different interest groups. last year over 20,000 people here from a pro-gun rally. and they are expected to come again tomorrow to the state capitol, though they will be caravanning instead of being on foot. they'r

protests there have been rallies and other locations throughout the country including today in richmond virginia outside the capitol there where you know the boys proud boys oath keeper 3 percent is again that right wing kind of fringe movement tonight on types showed up in and faced off when you hear of any riots or anything violent that faced off with black live matter protesters so the concern is that tomorrow there could be the potential for protests it will seems incredibly unlikely based on the security and how intense it is that anybody would try to pull anything but again there's concerns about people trying to infiltrate the national guard or even from what i've seen when i've heard trying to pose as media trying to pose as 1st trying to infiltrate one way or another again i want to be clear we're not hearing of any threats but security here is high and they're not taking any chances. a former u.s. . believes the additional vetting of troops is on warrant it. i think it's a form of censorship this is just a step towards that for troops and i think it's just a prequel to. what we will se

also feel that there's also a lot of security around other buildings like we were 2 days ago in richmond virginia we've witnessed the capitol there being also the capitol building there also being should have sealed off barriers being put up windows being boarded up but as we were standing there just 2 blocks away there was the building of the average supreme court and there was a bomb threat at the time there everything had been immediately sealed off so you do when you walk around not only in d.c. but in other parts of the country you do feel that sort of sort of apprehension that expectation that may be anything can unfold at any time and i think that has a lot to do with the image of what unfolded here on january 6th when all these rioters entered capitol hill it's an image that has taken by surprise a country and has definitely shocked the country with many us where we're to security services and intelligence services doing at the time so this time now leading to integration you have the complete opposite you have an increase and really a full scale deployment with deployment and mobilizatio

richmond is nay park called bird park. so, byrd park, not like a song bird. byrd park named for a family in virginia, a colonist who grew quite property. and william byrd ii is one of the family to helped found the city of richmond. so, byrd park is named for him as a founder of the town of richmond. but this is something that i think is important to note because when the columbus statue was toppled this summer and put in the water in byrd park, a lot of the focus was on columbus and what columbus tells us about colonial american history. no one really talked about william byrd, for whom the park is named. i think it's really important to bear in mind how rememorialize colonial america is just as powerfully found in the names of parks and streets as it is in things like a monument, like a statue. and in some ways these are more important because these are just as hard to topple. people are very attached to names of things. if we think about christopher columbus, we would have to rename among other things our capital city, washington, the district of columbia, which is something that comes out of col

richmond is in a park called bird park. bird park -- byrd park is named for a family of virginia colonists who grew quite wealthy, owned a lot of property and william byrd the second, whose portrait you see here, is one of the byrd family who helped found the city of richmond in the 1730's and who owned a lot of property on which the city of richmond was built. byrd park is named for him as a founder of the town of richmond. but this is something i think is important to note. when the columbus statue was toppled this summer and put in the water and byrd park, a lot of the focus was on columbus and what columbus tells us about colonial american history. nobody talked about william byrd, for whom the park is named. i think it is important to bear in mind of how we memorialize colonial america is just as powerfully found in the names of parks and streets just as in monuments. in some ways, these are more important because they are just as hard to topple. people are very attached to the names of things, and if we think about christopher columbus, if we are going to go about tearing down everything related to the man we would hav

representing the worst of virginia colonial aristocracy, and yet, his name is what this park in richmond, virginia, is named. the park is named for him. and so when we think about monuments like that of columbus in byrd park that are toppled, i think we need to think about the wider connections that the name of byrd park itself is also important. what do we do with that? and as i said, where do we draw the line with these questions of myths and monuments? at a certain point, things are so entangled it's really difficult to separate them out. columbus, for example, washington, d.c., the district of colombia. columbus is celebrated in the capitol rotunda. you see the capitol there at the top left. the capitol rotunda has eight epic paintings within it, these enormous paintings you can go see. sort of a popular public tour of the capitol. four of them commemorate things from the revolutionary area by jonathan trumable and that celebrate the revolution, the founding period. the other four are from the 19th century, and they are described by the u.s. capitol historians as, quote, four scenes of early e
