Quindaro Ruins Lookout - Kansas City, Kansas
The lookout over the Quindaro Ruins in Kansas City, Kansas. This is a very important historical site of the underground railroad. One of the historical signs reads as follows below:
'Many Battles Punctuated The Movement To Establish And Maintain Kansas As A Free State During The Civil War Period. The Quest For Freedom Exacted A Heavy Toll And Caused Many The Ultimate Sacrafice'
'Modern Day Battles Were Equally Important To The Survival Of The Township Of Quindaro. The Battle To Save The Quindaro Ruins And Preserve A Legacy Of Freedom Was Waged For Nearly Two Decades. During The Early 1980's A Plan Had Been Approved To Turn The Quindaro Ruins Area Into A Landfill. A Number Of Concerned Citizens Joined Together In Wage Battle To Fight the Landfill And Save And Preserve What Is Left Of The Ruins. After Much Sacrafice The Battle Was Won. This Area Is Now A National Freedom Train Underground Railroad Network Site.'
'The Battle Continues In Our Quest To Save And Preserve More Of The Ruins But All Would Be Lost Without The Tireless Efforts Of Those Who Led This Battle. They Should Be Recognized For Their Steadfast And Undying Commitment To Freedom. The Preservation Of The Freedom Underground Railroad And The Historic Survival Of Quindaro.'

Private Lakeside Camping in Kansas and LOTS of Free Mexican in the OKC
On this Airstream Life vLog, we leave Kansas City Missouri to continue heading south and west. Our final destination this video is Oklahoma City but that's a long drive for us to do in one day (6+ hours) so we split it up. We spend one night at El Dorado State Park in Kansas and we are so glad we did. We didn't have reservations but there was NO ONE ELSE THERE. We had our pick of lakeside camping spots and complete silence. Amazing!
Then it was time to move on to the OKC. We set up at the Twin Fountains RV Resort which is a bit of a splurge for us but amazing location wise. Then we head to get some delicious Mexican food from Ted's Escondido cafe which is a chain here. It was delicious and they give you so much free food! This is our kind of place!

Conversation with Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden & Archivist of the United States David Ferriero
Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and National Archivist David Ferriero discussed the importance of collecting physical information and materials in the digital age.The Library of Congress and the National Archives are the home of the nation's most valuable treasures and historical documents. During their conversation, the Librarian and the Archivist discussed the role of their institutions in making these resources accessible to the public.
Speaker Biography: Carla Hayden was sworn in as the 14th Librarian of Congress in September 2016. She is the first woman and the first African American to lead the national library. She was nominated to the position by President Barack Obama in February 2016 and her nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate, July 2016. Prior to her current post she served as CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland. She was nominated by former President Obama to be a member of the National Museum and Library Services Board in January 2010 and was confirmed to that post by the Senate in June 2010. Prior to joining the Pratt Library, Hayden was deputy commissioner and chief librarian of the Chicago Public Library; an assistant professor for Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh; and the library services coordinator for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. She began her career with the Chicago Public Library as the young adult services coordinator and as a children's librarian. Hayden was president of the American Library Association from 2003 to 2004. In 1995, she was the first African American to receive Library Journal's Librarian of the Year Award in recognition of her outreach services at the Pratt Library, which included an after-school center for Baltimore teens offering homework assistance and college and career counseling. Hayden received a B.A. from Roosevelt University and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the Graduate Library School of the University of Chicago.
Speaker Biography: David S. Ferriero was confirmed as 10th Archivist of the United States in 2009. Early in 2010 he committed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to the principles of Open Government--transparency, participation and collaboration. To better position NARA to fulfill these goals, Ferriero initiated an agency transformation to restructure the organization and set goals to further the mission, meet the needs of those who rely on them, and find new and creative ways to approach the agency's work. Ferriero served as the Andrew W. Mellon Director of the New York Public Libraries (NYPL), part of the leadership team responsible for integrating the four research libraries and 87 branch libraries into one seamless service for users, creating the largest public library system in the U.S., and one of the largest research libraries in the world. His responsibilities included collection strategy, conservation, digital experience, reference and research services, education, programming and exhibitions. Before joining the NYPL, Ferriero served in top positions at two of the nation's major academic libraries, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Duke University. Ferriero earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in English literature from Northeastern University in Boston, and a master's degree from the Simmons College of Library and Information Science.

Blackbird: The Fastest Spy Plane (Extended Cut) - SR-71
In this episode of Access to History, we leave the studio for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center, where student veterans who are part of Montgomery College's Combat2College Program got up close to aircraft that made history. They also spent time with Retired Air Force Colonel Joe Kinego, who recorded over 900 hours piloting the famed Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird in military reconnaissance missions all over the world during the Cold War. Traveling up to 17 miles above the Earth at over 3 times the speed of sound, foreign powers tried to shoot down the Blackbird but none were successful. Colonel Kinego's presentation to the students during this visit contained information that at one time was Top Secret.
Montgomery College...Endless Possibilities. Montgomery College is a public, multicampus community college in Montgomery County, Maryland. Montgomery College serves nearly 60,000 students a year, through both credit and noncredit programs, in more than 100 areas of study.
