>>> A COUPLE OF GREAT PLACES ON THE SIDE OF COLUMBUS.

NEW YORK STEAKHOUSE STARTED AS A CHAIN RESTAURANT CONCEPT, POPPING UP IN THE CITIES AS WELL AS SHOPPING MALLS.

THIS IS THE LAST ONE STANDING.

OUR VERY OWN PRODUCER HEADS OVER THERE TO FIND OUT THE SECRET TO ITS SUCCESS.

>> WE ARE HERE AT YORK STEAKHOUSE.

HERE IS THE OWNER.

>> OLD-SCHOOL THROWBACK, AMERICAN MADE.

>> NO EXCEPTION BESIDE THE SALAD BAR.

ONE TIME WE HAD A SALAD BAR OUT HERE.

IT WAS IN THE DINING ROOM.

THINGS KIND OF CHANGED.

WE STILL HAVE IT.

WE HAVE IT ON THE SMALLER SIDE.

IT IS A SALAD STATION NOW.

>> THIS IS GOOD FOR US,.

>> ONE DAY I FINALLY DID.

I'M THE HEAD BUSBOY, THE OWNER, EVERYTHING.

>> THAT WAS 1989.

HE MUST'VE HAD A VISION.

ABOUT THIS TIME, THEY WERE JUST HERE IN COLUMBUS.

THE FOOD COURT WAS IN THE MALL.

>>> PEOPLE TAKE AMENDS PRIDE FROM THE PART OF TOWN THAT THEY LIVE IN.

COLUMBUS IS NO EXCEPTION.

TODAY WE ARE EXPLORING A COUPLE OF GREAT PLACES ON THE WEST SIDE OF COLUMBUS.

STARTING WITH A RESTAURANT THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 1960S.

STARTING OUT AS A CHAIN RESTAURANT CONCEPT STARTING IN CITIES AND SHOPPING MALLS.

OUR VERY OWN PRODUCER HEADS OVER THERE TO FIND OUT THE SECRETS.

>> WE ARE HERE AT YORK STEAKHOUSE.

THE LAST YORK STEAKHOUSE.

HERE IS THE OWNER, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE TO TAKE THE TIME TO TALK TO US THIS MORNING.

AND OLD-SCHOOL THROWBACK WITH A SALAD BAR.

AND A SOUTHERN SODA.

>> THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THE SALAD BAR.

AS YOU CAN SEE, ONE TIME WE HAD A SALAD BAR RIGHT OUT HERE IN THE MIDDLE.

WE STILL HAVE IT, IT IS ON THE SERVICE LINE.

WE CALL IT THE SALAD STATION.

>> THIS YORK STEAKHOUSE HAS BEEN HERE AND IT STILL IS.

>> I STARTED IN 1980.

AT THAT TIME, THE RESTAURANT AND COMPANY WAS DOING GOOD IT HAD ABOUT 180 RESTAURANTS.

I RAN IT FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS WORKING FOR THE COMPANY.

I USED TO WORK JUST AS A MANAGER, TRAINING, I DO NOT THINK I WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT.

ONE DAY, I FINALLY DID.

THE OWNER, EVERYTHING.

>> YOU MUST'VE HAD A VISION.

ABOUT THAT TIME, THEY WERE HERE IN COLUMBUS.

THEY WERE IN FOOD COURTS IN THE MALL.

YORK STEAKHOUSE WAS NOT A PLACE TO GO IN THE MALL.

YOU SAY, I WILL PUSH THROUGH WITH THIS ONE.

WHAT MADE YOU DO THAT?

>> TIMES CHANGE.

BACK IN THE 70s, A LOT OF PEOPLE, FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY YOU WOULD GO TO THE SHOPPING MALL TO DO SOME SHOPPING, THERE WERE MOVIE THEATERS.

HOPEFULLY YOU ATE AT YORK STEAKHOUSE.

THEN AS TIME WENT ON, THE MALLS KIND OF DROPPED.

LIKE HERE IN COLUMBUS.

THE MAJOR MALLS, NORTHERN MALL, EASTERN MALL.

I WAS FORTUNATE.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT WERE BILLED AS A FREESTANDING UNIT.

WE WERE STILL A VIABLE PLACE TO GO TO EAT.

WE ARE ALWAYS A DESTINATION RESTAURANT.

THANKFULLY, FOR ME, IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE A FREESTANDING NOT IN THE MALL.

>> YOU ARE A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS?

>> SURE.

I'M VERY FORTUNATE, WE STILL HAVE THE CHAIN LOOK, YOU MIGHT SAY.

FROM THE EARLY 70s.

WE RAN IT AS A MOM-AND-POP YORK STEAKHOUSE.

ALL OF THE CUSTOMERS EAT THERE TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK.

FOR ME, THAT'S GREAT.

>> THE MENU, I LOOKED AT IT, IT'S PRETTY BASIC.

IN A GOOD WAY.

>> I HAD A STEAK YESTERDAY, THERE WAS A WHOLE MEAL HERE.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

HOW DO YOU KEEP PRICES DOWN?

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

>> ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES, I'M NOT PAYING FOR A HEADQUARTERS OUT THERE.

I SUPPORT MY FAMILY AND MY STAFF.

THEY DO GOOD WORK.

YOU HAVE TO BRING EVERYTHING TO THE BOTTOM LINE.

I'M NOT IN A PRIME LOCATION, YOU MIGHT SAY.

IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS AN EASTERN AREA LIKE POLARIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S AFFORDABLE, IT IS A GOOD SITUATION.

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RAISE MY FAMILY AND KEEP THINGS GOING.

THAT PART IS NICE.

WHO ARE THE CUSTOMERS WHO COME HERE?

>> HONESTLY, THE CUSTOMERS ARE ALL OVER.

WE HAVE A GOOD BASE HERE.

WE HAD SIGNATURE ON OUR ITEMS THAT PEOPLE REMEMBER US BY.

THE SIRLOIN TIPS WILL ALWAYS BE THE NUMBER ONE DINNER.

NOTHING EVEN COMES CLOSE.

WE HAVE THE HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN.

THAT IS REALLY POPULAR WITH US.

ALL THOSE MENU ITEMS, PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE NUMBER ONE.

PEOPLE SAY, I REMEMBER NUMBER FOUR.

THERE WERE ONLY FOUR OR FIVE ITEMS ON THE MENU.

IT WAS A CHOPSTICK PATTY ON A NICE DINNER ROLL.

THEY REMEMBER THAT AS A KID GETTING THAT WHEN HE CAME OUT.

THE SIGNATURE STEAK FRIES , WE DON'T HAVE THOSE TOO OFTEN.

THICKER FRIES.

THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE REMEMBER.

WE ARE ONE OF THOSE RESTAURANTS, WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS, YOU START OUT AT McDONALD'S OR WHATEVER.

MAYBE WANT TO INTRODUCE THEM TO A FAMILY SITDOWN RESTAURANT.

YORK IS A GOOD PLACE TO COME.

YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN A FOUR-STAR RESTAURANT WHICH I LOVE.

ON THE OTHER HAND, IT INTRODUCES THEM TO MORE OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH KIDS TOO.

>> YOU CAN BE KIND OF IN THAT MIDDLE SEGMENT.

IF TIMES ARE BAD, INSTEAD OF EATING OUT A HIGHER-END RESTAURANT, YOU COME TO NEW YORK.

INSTEAD OF HAVING FAST FOOD.

IT'S KIND OF NICE TO BE THERE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

>> WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN COVID HAD A PLACE LIKE THIS?

>> THAT WAS TOUGH.

I WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST TIMES IN MY WHOLE CAREER.

IT WAS A SUNDAY NIGHT, WATCHING TV.

I CAME ACROSS THAT ALL RESTAURANTS WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW.

I FINISHED THE TWO BIGGEST WEEKS OF MY CAREER.

>> YOUR WHOLE CAREER.

WORKING IN THE BACON JURY AND THEN TAKING OVER.

THIS WAS THE NATURAL PROGRESSION.

>> I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN FOOD, I WORKED IN A GROCERY STORE FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS AND THEN I WAS IN THE BAKERY.

I STARTED WITH YORK.

THEY HAVE BEEN VERY UNDERSTANDING WITH THE BUSINESS.

I HAVE HAD THREE KIDS, THEY ALL WORKED HERE FOR ME AFTER SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.

I STILL HAVE A SON WORKING FOR ME.

I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF SUPPORT AROUND ME.

I'M DOING GOOD.

>> WE HOPE THAT YORK STEAKHOUSE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW.

WE THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE IT.

>>> CONTINUING OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE WEST SIDE OF COLUMBUS, WE'RE GOING TO THE HILLTOPS, WHERE I GREW UP.

THE RESIDENTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLUMBUS.

JEFF DARBY CHECKS OUT A FEW OF THE SITES THAT HAVE HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.

>>> WE ARE ENTERING THE MOST HISTORIC PART OF COLUMBUS, FRANKLY.

SETTLED IN 1797 AND IT PREDATES COLUMBUS.

WE ARE PASSING THE HARRISON HEADQUARTERS ARE SHORT-LIVED PRESIDENT FROM OHIO.

BEHIND IT IS THE SULLIVAN LAND OFFICE.

A SURVEYOR FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

AND HE SURVEYED THIS AREA FROM THAT LITTLE BRICK BUILDING.

WE WENT THIS SIDE OF THE RIVER VALLEY.

AND THIS IS WHERE THE STATE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE WAS BUILT.

IT WAS AN ENORMOUS BUILDING THAT DOMINATED THE WHOLE TOWN.

IT DEVELOPED FAIRLY QUICKLY.

WE WILL MEET WITH AN EXPERT ON THE HISTORY OF THE OLD STATE HOSPITAL.

>> HELLO, GARY.

>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> I'M DOING JUST FINE.

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE STORY OF THE OLD STATE HOSPITAL.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE SECOND HOSPITAL.

THE SECOND ONE WAS DOWNTOWN BETWEEN WASHINGTON AVENUE .

IT WAS BUILT IN 1938 AND THEN LEGISLATION PASSED FOR THE OTHER NEW ONE.

>> THIS IS A FACILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES.

>> THERE WERE CLINICAL TERMS.

>> THERE WERE.

THERE WERE GERMS FROM TODAY BACK THEN.

>> WE ARE KIND OF CALLOUS NOWADAYS.

THAT IS HOW LAWS.

>> IN 1868, THE BUILDING CAUGHT FIRE.

THEY TRIED TO REBUILD IT.

THEY PURCHASE LAND HERE FROM WILLIAM SULLIVAN.

THEY PURCHASED IT FOR $100,000.

IT WAS BUILT ON A CURTAIN RIDE DESIGN.

>> WHAT DOES THAT DESIGN INVOLVE?

>> IT IS A BIG CENTER AREA.

EVERYTHING WILL BRANCH OUT TO IT.

YOU CAN ADD A WING TO THE HOSPITAL.

THE SENDER PART WILL GO STRAIGHT DOWN.

>> DURING CONSTRUCTION OF THE PENTAGON, THIS WAS THE BIGGEST BUILDING UNDER A SINGLE ROOF.

>> WAS A VERY PROMINENT BUILDING.

>> IT WAS ABOUT FOUR STORIES.

RESIDENTS ARE ON THREE FLOORS.

WITH LIVING QUARTERS FOR THE DOCTORS, SUPERINTENDENT.

WITHIN THE CITY.

SELF-SUFFICIENT, HAD ITS OWN POWER.

LIGHTHOUSE, FIGURINES, CHICKEN HOUSES, EVERYTHING.

>> PEOPLE LIVING HERE WOULD WORK IN THOSE PLACES?

>> A LOT OF PATIENTS DID WORK YEAR UNTIL THE 70s AND 80s AND THEY GOT PATIENT RIGHTS AND THAT SYSTEM CAME IN.

YES.

>> THIS MUST'VE BEEN A MAJOR SENSE OF EMPLOYMENT FOR PEOPLE.

>> I WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY MOST OF THEM LIVED ON THE WEST SIDE.

>> THAT WAS PROBABLY SUCH A HELP TO THEM.

>> PEOPLE MOVING HERE IN BUILDING BUILDINGS.

>> WHEN I STARTED WORK HERE, THERE WERE LOTS OF PEOPLE.

>> LASTED UNTIL -- >> THE LAST WAS TAKEN OUT IN 91.

ONE OF THE DOWNFALLS FOR THE HOSPITAL WAS THAT THINGS NOT TAKING CARE OF.

>> SOMETIMES THE PUBLIC ENTITY IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST WORD.

>> IT IS IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE INFORMATION LIKE THIS AND A MEMORY OF A PLACE LIKE THIS.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP ALL HISTORY ALIVE.

THEY HAD NOWHERE TO GO.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE LIKED IN THE PAST WHAT THEY DID, IT'S PART OF HISTORY.

WE CAN CHANGE HISTORY.

>> IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.

>> THAT IS PART OF OUR HISTORY.

>> THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME SO MUCH.

AND YOU REALLY ARE ENLIGHTENING ME.

>> YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME.

>> I WILL LOOK AT MORE OF THE HILLSIDE.

MANY THANKS.

>> ALL RIGHT, OKAY.

>>> HEY, DAVE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME OUT HERE TODAY TO LEARN ABOUT WESTGATE.

>> WE ARE HERE IN THE PARK.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPEN SPACE.

AND I WAS ABLE A LOT OF WILD LAND HERE.

WHAT IS THIS DEVELOPMENT?

>> THE WESTSIDE STARTED OUT OF LAND THAT LUCAS SULLIVAN HELD NOT LONG AFTER THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

THE FOUNDER OF FRANKLIN.

HE OWNED A LOT OF THIS LAND.

THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

IT WAS OWNED BY A LOT OF HIS SONS.

THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS UNTIL THE TIME OF THE CIVIL WAR.

THERE WERE A COUPLE OF CAMPS DOWNTOWN THAT WERE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL OF THE TROOPS THAT WERE GOING TO BE MUSTERING IN.

ACTUALLY WHAT STARTED DEVELOPMENT NOW HERE.

>> 100,000 UNION TROOPS GOT THEIR START HERE AT CAMP SHADY.

NOT ONLY WAS IT A UNION TRAINING GROUND.

IT BECAME A CIVIL WAR PRISONER OF WAR CAMP FOR THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.

AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE CONFEDERATE CEMETERY THAT IS ON 2900 SULLIVAN AVENUE.

>> THE PARK WAS CREATED AND THEN HOUSING DEVELOPED AROUND IT?

>> IT WAS A COMBINATION OF BOTH.

THE WESTSIDE COMMUNITY REALLY BEGAN TO EXPAND AFTER THE FLOOD OF 1913.

THAT ALTERED THE COURSE OF FRANKLIN HISTORY.

>> EXACTLY.

THEY HAD GRADUALLY MIGRATED THIS DIRECTION AS COLUMBUS HAD GROWN.

IT WAS AFTER THAT WHERE YOU REALLY SAW THE DEVELOPMENT OUT HERE.

>> THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I'M LOOKING AT.

TELL ME ABOUT THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE.

>> THE MOST NOTABLE ITEMS OF ARCHITECTURE, THE WESTERN SHOPPING CENTER THAT USED HAVE THE GREAT WALK OF WONDERS.

AND THEN THE OTHER IS ACTUALLY THE STRUCTURE OF WEST HIGH SCHOOL.

BUILT IN 1929.

THE SCHOOL WAS DEVELOPED AS A PROTOTYPE FOR AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOLS.

THE ARCHITECT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS NONE OTHER THAN HOWARD DWIGHT SMITH WHO IS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL THAT DESIGNED OHIO STADIUM.

>> WAS THERE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS DURING WORLD WAR II?

THERE'S A LOT OF WESTSIDE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

>> THAT OCCURRED JUST AFTER WORLD WAR II.

THREE MAJOR EMPLOYERS CAME TO THE WESTSIDE.

GENERAL MOTORS WAS THE BIGGEST.

AT ONE TIME, THERE WERE OVER 6000 GOOD PAYING JOBS AT THE PLANT OVER ON GEORGIA VILLE ROAD.

THEY EMPLOYED JUST OVER 3000 PEOPLE EDIT STATION.

THE THIRD WAS THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER.

THAT EMPLOYED OVER 1000 PEOPLE.

BETWEEN THE THREE OF THEM, THEY PROVIDED 10,000 REALLY GOOD BLUE-COLLAR TYPE JOBS FOR THE WESTSIDE.

>> THAT IS CHANGED, NONE OF THOSE PLANS ARE STILL HERE.

>> I'M GUESSING THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF EMPLOYMENT.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT, THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT ECONOMICALLY FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE WEST SIDE OF COLUMBUS.

THE PLANT WAS COMPLETELY LEVELED AND THEY REDID THE GROUNDS THERE.

IT IS A BRAND-NEW BUILDING.

IT PROVIDED 1000 JOBS AROUND HERE.

>> ARE PEOPLE MOVING IN AS THEY SEE IT FOR A DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> THE ONE REALLY GOOD THING ABOUT THE WESTSIDE OF COLUMBUS AND THE HILLTOP AREA, IT IS AFFORDABLE BY MOST PEOPLE.

IT IS ACCESSIBLE.

IT IS CLOSE TO A LOT OF THINGS.

WE ARE LESS THAN A 10 MINUTE THIS BECOMES THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AS WELL.

AMPLY BECAUSE HOUSING IS AFFORDABLE.

IT IS VERY MUCH AN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY.

AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY FOR FOLKS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR GENERATIONS.

I'M LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND TELLING ME ABOUT IT.

>> MY PLEASURE.

MY PLEASURE.

>>> FURTHER WEST OF COLUMBUS IS SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

ONE OF THE STORIES INVOLVES A LADY NAMED HATTIE MOSLEY.

SHE WAS ACTIVE DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

SHE HAD SUCH AN IMPACT THAT SHE WAS HONORED BY A LOCAL MURAL OFFICE.

>> I WROTE A STORY ABOUT THE HATTIE MOSLEY MUSEUM.

RESISTANCE IS A COMMON PART OF EVERY SOCIETY.

IT IS DISCOVERED WHEN THERE ARE MOMENTS OF GREATER RESISTANCE.

THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THESE STORIES ABOUT HATTIE.

>> IN THE 1920S IT WAS A LARGE INDUSTRIAL CITY AND IT REALLY ATTRACTED THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY.

HATTIE IS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GREAT MIGRATION.

SHE IS LOOKING FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

WHEN SHE ARRIVES, SHE FOUND THAT THIS TOWN HAD A LOT OF THE SAME CONDITION SHE CAME FROM.

THERE WAS STRONG RACISM YEAR AND SINCE IT WAS GROWING IN POPULARITY, IT WAS ALSO VERY ANTI-CATHOLIC.

IMMIGRANT GROUPS THAT WERE MOVING INTO THE COMMUNITY.

>> THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR SPRINGFIELD.

HAD OF THE OPPORTUNITY HEADERS.

THAT IS WHAT IS KEY TO THE STORY AND MAKES IT SO INTERESTING.

SHE ENGAGED IN THE ANTI- SEGREGATION CAMPAIGN BECAUSE SHE KNEW THE EXPERIENCES OF SEGREGATION.

>> WE DON'T KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT HATTIE.

WHAT WE DO KNOW IS EXTRAORDINARY.

>> MY NAME IS DIANE AND I AM THE GREAT-NIECE OF HATTIE MOSLEY.

HATTIE'S STORY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF HER FIGHT FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR BOTH THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS WHEN SHE FOUGHT TO DESEGREGATE THE SCHOOL.

THAT IS WHY SHE IS REALLY WELL KNOWN.

>> ONE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS, LIKE MOST HISTORICAL STORIES, IT IS MORE NUANCED.

THE IDEA OF IF WE WILL HAVE A SEGREGATED RULE, THERE WAS ALSO THE OFFER ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD THAT WAS PROPOSED BY BLACK PEOPLE IN SPRINGFIELD TO HAVE BLACK TEACHERS IN THE SCHOOLS.

>> THEY WERE INTERESTED IN HAVING AN ALL-BLACK SCHOOL.

EVEN THOUGH AT THE IT WAS NOT ALLOWED BY THE COMMUNITY.

>> A COUPLE OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS TRIED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TO CREATE A SEGREGATED SCHOOL SYSTEM.

STARTING WITH FULTON ELEMENTARY.

THAT IS WHERE HATTIE GOT INVOLVED IN THE PROTEST BECAUSE SHE HAD SEEN THE DIFFICULTIES OF SEGREGATION IN GEORGIA WHERE SHE HAD COME FROM.

MAYBE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FULTON SCHOOL.

JUST LOOKING AT THE BUILDING AND IMAGINING THAT THIS IS WHERE MY AUNT HAD HER BIGGEST FIGHT.

>> IN SOME WAYS, SHE IS A ROLE PLAYER.

IF SHE DID NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE, WE MIGHT NOT KNOW HER NAME.

WE KNOW WHAT SHE WAS DOING IN THAT BOYCOTT.

SHE WAS FOCUSED ON REGISTERING WOMEN TO VOTE.

WOMEN HAD JUST GOT THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE UNITED STATES.

SHE KNEW THAT THE VOTE WAS POWER.

SHE KNEW THAT GAVE AFRICAN- AMERICAN WOMEN A VOICE THEY HAD NOT HAD BEFORE AND THAT VOICE WAS POWER.

>> SHE WOULD REALLY FIGHT FOR YOU.

FIGHT FOR WHAT SHE KNEW WAS RIGHT.

FIGHTING FOR WHAT SHE THOUGHT WOULD BE EQUALIZE US AS AMERICANS.

SHE WOULD FIGHT FOR THAT.

>> NEVER STOPPED BEING IMPORTANT, IT IS IMPORTANT TODAY, WE CAN FOCUS ON ROLE MODELS AND MENTORS IN A WAY, THAT IS REALLY POWERFUL.

THE ISSUES WE ARE FACING TODAY ARE NOT NEW.

THEY HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE OUR FOUNDING.

A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HATTIE WAS FIGHTING AGAINST IN THE 1920S, SHE WOULD STILL BE FIGHTING AGAINST THEM TODAY BECAUSE THINGS ARE NOT CHANGED.

>> IN CELEBRATING WHAT HATTIE MOSLEY DID, THE MAYOR ALSO BEARS WITNESS TO WHAT SHE HAD TO ENDURE.

THAT IS A UNIVERSAL AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

YOU CANNOT HAVE ONE OF THOSE THINGS WITHOUT THE OTHER.

>> THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BUILDINGS IN COLUMBUS, OHIO.

IT IS THE OHIO SUPREME OR BUILDING.

IT WAS COMPLETED IN 1933.

IF YOU WALK AROUND THE BUILDING, YOU WILL FIND 1932 ON IT.

RIGHT BEFORE HE WAS GOING TO GAS EXPLOSION THAT RUINED A LOT OF THE FUN OF THE BUILDING AND KILLED THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS THAT WERE WORKING ON THE BUILDING.

THAT IS WHY IT OPENED A YEAR LATER AFTER THE REPAIRS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF ART DECO ARCHITECTURE IN THE PUBLIC SPACE.

A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN COLUMBUS HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE BUILDING.

I'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS WHEN I HAVE GIVEN TOURS OF DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS, HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS BUILDING?

A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT.

IF YOU WANT TO VISIT THE BUILDING YOU HAVE TO GO MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS AND GO THROUGH SECURITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT IS A SIGHT TO BE SEEN.

EVERYONE CELEBRATES OHIO IN THIS BUILDING.

A GREAT ARCHITECTURAL LANDMARK THAT WE HAVE IN COLUMBUS.

IN MY OPINION, IF SOMEONE WOULD ASK ME, I ONLY HAVE A FEW HOURS TO SEE COLUMBUS, WHAT SHOULD I SEE?

A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY THE OHIO STATEHOUSE, I WOULD SAY THE SUPREME COURT.

IT IS A FASCINATING BUILDING TO LOOK AT.
