Today on Lake Effect, we look at the future of the social studies program, MKE Roots and what it provides for young people. Then, we learn about a program that’s helping tribal schools across the Great Lakes region test for safe drinking water. Plus, we look at the history of the ghost army – a unit of soldiers in World War II who used fake weapons and other deception to trick the Nazis.
