Exploring Milwaukee Churches With UWM’s Christopher Cantwell

Jason Rieve
Tom Luljak with Christopher Cantwell, assistant professor of history at UWM.

If you are a history buff, Milwaukee is a great place to dive into the past. With its many ethnic neighborhoods and a lively political landscape, Milwaukee's history is fascinating.

On this edition of UWM Today, we look at Milwaukee through another lens, one that helps us understand our city by examining the impact religion has had shaping the community. Our tour guide is Christopher Cantwell, assistant professor of history at UWM. Cantwell is leading a project that chronicles the history of the many churches found throughout the city.   

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
