Monday on Lake Effect:
At a time of racial polarization in this country, we learn about a story from another racially charged time. A Wisconsin writer introduces us to Perry Wallace, a pioneering college athlete in the late 1960s. Later, we clear up some misconceptions about the place of math in everyday life. Plus, a Marquette researcher uses electricity to clean up water. And who would be cast in the leading roles in a movie about Milwaukee?
Guests:
- Andrew Maraniss, author, Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the Collision of Race and Sports in the South
