White residents took the boulder to Lawrenceville, Kansas, nearly 100 years ago. The Kaw say it is a reminder of everything that has been taken from them and what some see as invasion and genocide.

A huge piece of quartzite in Lawrence, which has long stood as a memorial to the town's abolitionist founders, is being moved. It belongs to a Native American tribe.

Stephanie Grisham has moved to a remote, Trump-loving Kansas town, where she's crafting an argument against the former president that respects her neighbor's devotion to him.

The oil glut of 2020 drove crude prices down to -$38 a barrel, forcing U.S. producers to cap wells and lay off workers. Now, oilfield supplies are scarce and expensive and there's a labor shortage.

A Kansas community college president is under fire for comparing a Black student athlete to Hitler. Lawsuits accuse the president of a concerted effort to shrink the Black student body at the school.

Fewer volunteers are answering triple the number of calls they did decades ago and those who do show up tend to be older. Some departments were already stretched thin and then along came the pandemic.

Most of the U.S. is served by volunteer firefighters, but staffing and operating these departments has never been harder. Many are stretched increasingly thin, sometimes with near fatal consequences.

As part of a response to a tornado a decade ago that killed more than 160 people, the Missouri city of Joplin developed a peer-to-peer mental health program that's been widely replicated.

One of the worst tornadoes in U.S. history struck Joplin, Mo., a little over 10 years ago. Despite a massive recovery effort, the survivors still bear psychological scars.

Huge winds of over 110 miles per hour blew through much of the Midwest Wednesday night. They knocked out power, started fires and stretched resources of volunteer fire departments and responders.

Senator Bob Dole's remains lie in repose in his hometown of Russell, Kansas, where residents once raised funds for his recovery from war wounds, and later, helped launch his long political career.

Former Senate Majority leader, and GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole, of Kansas, has died. He was 98.

The pandemic has helped spread the housing crisis to almost every corner of the United States. A surge of people moving to rural towns is pricing out some long-time residents.

Labor issues are making staples of school dining hard to find, triggering the worst supply chain headaches these institutions have faced in years. "It's like a ginormous hurricane," one official says.

It's been weeks since Hurricane Ida barrelled through Louisiana with 150 mph winds, damaging or destroying thousands of homes. Scores of people are still trying to figure how or whether to rebuild.

Hurricane Nicholas brought heavy rain, flooding and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands in Texas. The storm is weaker now and concern has turned to Louisiana, already battered by Hurricane Ida.

Ida's ferocious 150 mph winds decimated parts of Louisiana's electrical grid. At the height, more than a million homes and businesses were without power. The remaining 117,000+ are having to make do.

More than 100,000 homes and businesses remain without power in Louisiana more than two weeks after Hurricane Ida. It's been tough for people trying to get by in the hot and humid weather.

Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana's fishing industry hard. Fishing is a multi-billion dollar business and it's one of economic foundations for communities that dot the southern end of Louisiana.
