KWMU afternoon newscaster Joseph Leahy will interview me at the station’s office at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. He wants some comments from me – the writer of Beer, Brats, and Baseball: St. Louis Germans about the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I and the anti-German sentiment during the war. We’ll talk about my campaign with the German-American Heritage Society of Saint Louis to have markers noting the city’s six German street names that were Anglicized during the war.
I’ll let you know what we talked about and when the interview will be on.
