Lake Effect Weekend: Project Milwaukee, Radio Chipstone, Ex Fabula

This weekend on Lake Effect:

We hear two interviews from our recent series Project Milwaukee: Segregation Matters. David Pate explains what makes segregation such a challenge in Milwaukee, versus anyplace else in the country. Then, how two suburban social studies teachers have taken it upon themselves to make race something their students talk about year-round. Plus, the latest episodes of Radio Chipstone and our storytelling series Ex Fabula.

Guests:

  • David Pate, professor, Helen Bader School of Social Welfare at UW-Milwaukee
  • Erin McCarthy and Colleen Perry, social studies teachers, Greendale Middle School
  • Gianofer Fields, material culture contributor
  • Leah DeLaney, Ex Fabula co-founder; Bruce Winter, WUWM
