Two Iowa State University professors, Brian Behnken and Amy Rutenberg, gave us historical background for the controversy over House File 222, which is specifically designed to deny funding for Iowa schools using any part of the 1619 Project (published by the New York Times,won a Pulitzer Prize, and is distributed by the Pulitzer Center). Continuing our emphasis on history, we introduced activities for Iowa History Month, which leads into the 175th anniversary of Iowa Statehood in 1846. KHOI hosts Paul Wierson and Gina McAndrews discussed their personal historical perspectives.
