Thursday on Lake Effect: Lloyd A. Barbee's Writings, Mountain Biking, Violent Femmes Percussionist

Thursday on Lake Effect:

The daughter of a Milwaukee civil rights icon edits her dad’s writings. Later, Wisconsin will crown a high school mountain bike champion this weekend. But competition isn’t at the heart of the league. Plus, drummer John Sparrow describes his prophetic moment when he saw a Violent Femmes concert in high school. And six women of a certain age will be on stage this weekend in a stereotype-defying dance performance.

Guests:

  • Daphne Barbee-Wooten, editor, Justice for All: Selected Writings of Lloyd A. Barbee; Aisha Turner, WUWM race relations reporter
  • Kathy Mock, co-founder & co-director of the Wisconsin High School Cycling League
  • John Sparrow, Violent Femmes percussionist
  • Simone Ferro, Deb Loewen, & Beth Corning, Dancing on the Ceiling: Solo Performances by Women of a Certain Age
