Tuesday on Lake Effect: Minneapolis Youth Violence Reduction Plan, Precious Lives, "Major Leauge"

Tuesday on Lake Effect:

Today on the show, ahead of a special episode in our Precious Lives series on children and gun violence, we learn how Minneapolis is handling youth violence, and what Milwaukee can learn from them. Precious Lives takes us to Minneapolis as they talk to people in government, non-profit organizations, and on the ground to find out what that city is doing that’s working to reduce youth violence. And even though it’s about a Cleveland team, a lot of the 1989 movie Major League was filmed right here in Milwaukee.

Guests:

  • Ashley Luthern, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
  • Emily Forman, Precious Lives
  • Jonathan Knight, author
