How the early professional and political life of Abraham Lincoln gave rise to the man we know as the Great Emancipator. Later, a recently published 1930s guidebook to Milwaukee offers a glimpse of what the city was, and how it’s changed. Plus, why Piano Arts’ biennial competition is so important for young musicians.

Guests:

  • Sidney Blumenthal, author, A Self-Made Man
  • John Buenker, editor, Milwaukee in the 1930s
  • Art Cyr, essayist
  • Peter Takacs and Pallavi Mahidhara, pianists
