are you seeing that in topeka?, we have -- i can think of two very well known -- one of them is alonso harrison, he's got a construction company. we have a facilities cleaning company and then we have dee's custard, cheesecakes and more which is a great black-owned business in the community. they have seen reduction, but we haven't had significant closures. what we are seeing a lot of struggle with is in the smaller businesses, like the restaurants are struggling significantly in our community. we're having more face-to-face issues with the smaller businesses. those are the ones that are really being impacted in our community. >> if we can just end on the issue of homelessness, because for people who don't know your personal journey. it's pretty remarkable. there was a time before becoming mayor that you were homeless and you still refer to homeless people as your people. we know they're among the most vulnerable population with covid. is there enough being done or is this a population that's ignored in this crisis

he comes to topeka and attends topeka high school and does not graduate. it was only a two year program, so it was not unusual for people to not graduate them. but, he worked. he had one horse and a buggy and key rented and other horse -- and he rented another horse and ran a taxi service. he is running the legislators and attorneys back and forth to the capital and becomes interested in the practice of law, and so he needs the lot and it was not uncommon at that point, and that is how he passes the bar. curtis had decades of legislative experience. he was both in congress, he was the first republican senate -- hety leader, he was a was coming to some people -- he was, to some people, the most powerful man in washington as it senate majority leader. he did not rule from the front, he ruled from the back. he set by the door. he knew every man in there intimately, he knew what motivated them. he was a master at compromise. at getting things done. and almost never rose to speak himself. in the 1928 presidential campaign, curtis was hoping to get the top spot.

. >> i came to know charles curtis after i moved to topeka. a resident historian at the cemetery, i came to know more about his story. the more i found out, the more fascinating he became. the more i realized how under told his story is. he is reduced to a trivia question. the only vice president of american indian lineage or ancestry. he deserves a lot more than that. i've been doing some research for 20 years. it has gotten more serious in the last couple of years. his journey has become more remarkable to me in the last couple of years as i realized exactly what he did. he was born in north topeka in 1860. he's born during the territorial period. his father is a white man. he comes originally. his ancestors are passengers on the mayflower. a lot of hay is made with that when he is a candidate. he has the indian on one side, the pilgrims on the other. it's a great pr piece. what makes him so remarkable, i think, is the fact that he has mixed blood growing up in a time that makes that very difficult. by sheer force of his personality, he make

and, sarah smarsh, in topeka, kansas. she's a freelance journalist and author of the book "heartland." welcome to both of you, it is great to see you. let's start by talking about, what is on the minds of voters you are hearing from? the pandemic, the numbers were grim again today, over 1300 deaths were reported overnight, something like 53,000 new cases in one day. what are voters saying? sarah: here in my state of kansas, this is one of the states where new cases are on the uptake, unfortunately. in this region like across the country, it is certain the pandemic is foremost on voter's minds. it is a twin issue with the economy, the present state of which we cannot separate from the public health crisis. certainly the pandemic and its ramifications is the talk on main street, as well as the

he comes to topeka, he attends high school. it was only a two-year program. so it is not unusual for people to not graduate at the end for it but he worked. he had one horse and a buggy. and he borrowed or rented a horse and he runs a taxi service service. he's running the legislators and he becomes the practice of law. and so he reads for the law that's not uncommon at that point. that is how he passes the bar. curtis had decades of legislative experience. he was the first republican he was to some people, some newspaper editors said curtis was the most powerful man in washington as majority leader he did not rule from the front he ruled from the back he knew everyman in their intimately he knew it they wanted, their children, he knew it motivated them, he was the master at compromising, getting things done. in the 19208 presidential campaign, curtis was hoping to get the top spot. he was campaigning for president, not second-place. when the convention met in kansas city that year, he was very disappointed and made it known that he was disappointed, not to b

so he comes to topeka and tells governor crawford that the cheyenne have attacked. and i think a lot of this is due to the influence of his grandmothers. but his white grandmother in topeka said that's enough you're coming to live with us and have a civilized life. his indian grandmother agreed. so the indians then, when the tribe is being removed to the indian nations or the indian territory what is now. [inaudible] he really wants to go with them. this is 1873 and he is 13. and his indian grandmother, is french and indian grandmother says no. you've got to make something of your life or if you come with us you can't do that. so you have to stay with your white grandmother and get an and make something of yourself. i don't think you can overestimate what those two women, the impact those two women had on his life. he comes to topeka, he attends speaker high school. he does not graduate, is only to your program. so it is not unusual for people to not graduate at the end for it but he worked. he had one horse and a buggy. and he borrowed or rented a horse and he runs

i would say the most famous memorial tribute to john brown is a mural in the topeka state house which shows brown as sort of an angel of god with his hands up raised and fire, war breaking out in back of him. it makes him sort of an apostle of violence that leads to freedom. it's appropriate that it's in topeka in a way because it's this town where the brown v board of education case was hatched. >> it's also very poignant to see his grave and his sons with him in lake placid, just a very simple but beautiful memorial in and of itself, i think. here's another question about john brown. why didn't he use the muskets that were in the armory rather than the spears? >> he did. i mean, his -- he did. he just didn't think his african-american followers would be able to use the muskets once they were liberated or liberated themselves, which is the unlikely scenario he created from the plantations nearby. there was rifle fire at the armory. he broke out a few windows and fired back at lee's contingent. and there was a lot of exchange of gunfire when the marines led the charge and broke down t

performer and he has a real sort of instinct for the relationships of power so things like chimed in topeka -- witchhunt and he also uses words to mean nothing and that is a problem for us as citizens and journalists because when a president uses words that mean nothing still means something because it has consequences so we have to cover it but -- and there is no right answer here. it's a little bit less awful in the way that we have the language. >> a through line in the book you say again and again in there. there are guardrails and they have public education and all these things and again it's distressing for me to someone you have been pretty consistently correct that those things can be corroded. one of my concerns when i'm downing bourbon at three in the morning is the confidence that election is going to save us and i had a friend said as long as they are registering voters and standing in line it's all going to work out. even then there is a certain amount of magical thinking about how to extract ourselves from this. i am not nearly as confident as i was six months ago and i would

joining me from a polling site in topeka, kansas, is corin griffith, the capital bureau chief at our nbc news affiliate there. so good to see you. what's been interesting to you as you watch this race shape up. is there a sense in the state of how closely this is all being watched nationally? >> people definitely understand that this is a big race. we see the political ads every time that our shows go to commercial break. so people definitely know this is a big race. we're also looking -- the front-runner which is a current state senator has broken state records for fundraising. so this is a big deal because kansas has always been such a red state. so the republicans definitely know and so do kansans. this could totally change the layout of the senate. and one of the interesting things you mentioned, chris, is the president has yet to endorse a candidate, which is especially strange for president trump who is normally so quick to endorse a conservative candidate. it's especially strange because chris kobach was one of president trump's first big allies as he was beginning his running

finish this week a tv station in to topeka, kansas, obtained the slide of a recent event in which theyoyees on what kind of messaging on clothing in the workplace was acceptable and what's not. a attire supporting black lives matter and lgbtq causes was acceptable. what was not, clothing saying all lives matter, blue lives matter and white lives matter along with trump campaign garb. have you got that? yes to clothing that wants to get rid of the misbut anything that supports the police. now, the company scrambled to head off a boycott called for by the president, and the ceo released a statement saying an employee at that one plant was responsible and added that the company strongly supports our law enforcement partners and deeply appreciates all they do. that's very good to know. now the goodyear may, indeed, just have been a product of a single overzealous plant worker, but it tells you quite a lot, unfortunately, about the state of the country. this kind of ideological recession is increasingly mandatory across the country, and while there's nothing wrong with making sure, of cours
