Today on Lake Effect, we’ll look at a report from the ACLU on the jail to deportation pipeline in counties throughout Wisconsin. We’ll speak with historians about how they’re documenting the stories of Lantix Wisconsinites past and present. We'll hear a local family connection to the sinking of the Titanic ahead of the Milwaukee Rep's reopening of the production. Plus, we'll learn about the history of one of Milwaukee's Black historical landmarks — the Jones-Hill House.
