Friday on Lake Effect: Hours Against Hate, New Novel Pepperland, and Two Summer Films

Friday on Lake Effect: 

A worldwide campaign, Hours Against Hate, began its first project in the United States in Milwaukee last month – and since then people like Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic have joined the initiative. We’ll talk with the two co-founders. Then, rock-and-roll and the the dawn of the computer revolution is at the heart of local author and Lake Effect contributor Barry Wightman’s new novel, Pepperland. And even though the blockbusters get all the hype, there are other kinds of movies released in the summer months. We’ll talk about two: Blue Jasmine and Girls Most Likely.
