Monday on Lake Effect:
We examine how the U.S. government subsidized segregation in cities throughout the country. Then learn what it took for the first home built by a black man in Wauwatosa to become a historic landmark. Plus what made Milwaukee a city where socialism worked for nearly half of the 20th century, despite being known as “sewer socialists.”
Guests:
- Richard Rothstein, author, The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America
- Gerald Williamson, owner of historic Zeddie Hyler home
- Mike Gousha, producer, America's Socialist Experiement
