Monday 9/16/24: King Center, monuments and history, war dogs

Today on Lake Effect, we learn about the King Center on Milwaukee’s near north side. Then, we explore a national audit of monuments across the U.S. - which found they tell a skewed version of history. Plus, we learn about a unique World War II-era program that put family pets on the frontlines.

Guests:

  • Anthony Chergosky, assistant professor of political science at UW-La Crosse
  • Paul Farber, director of Monument Lab
  • Kelly Nelson, author of "Brownie the War Dog"
