Thursday on Lake Effect: Talking About Racism, Social Upheaval, Milwaukee Riverkeepers

Thursday on Lake Effect:

A child and family therapist gives tips on how to talk to kids about racism. Then, we learn why people aren’t just frustrated about racial justice and look at the many things factoring into social unrest. Plus, this year’s river cleanup had to be canceled, but we hear how people are continuing to do their part.

Guests:

  • Lakiesha Russell, child and family therapist at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin
  • Jeffrey Winters, professor of political science and director of the Equality Development and Globalization Studies program at Northwestern
  • Cheryl Nenn, Riverkeeper Team with the Milwaukee Riverkeeper group
