The last of Joy Byrne Powers’ series on socialism in Milwaukee is live. It’s a well-produced look at our socialist history (and present), and I was honored to be included in it. Thank you to Lake Effect and @wuwmradio.bsky.social for this context-heavy exploration! www.wuwm.com/milwaukee-so...
We look at the tenure of Milwaukee’s last Socialist mayor, Frank Zeidler, and his aggressive campaign to expand the size of the city. We also explore what socialism looks like in Milwaukee today.
