The Northwest Ordinance is one of America's foundational documents. Maybe you've never heard of it. Historian Jon Lauck suggests the ordinance was an effort to establish the principles of a new nation at its very best. He argues the Midwest was founded on ideals of anti-slavery, robust education, character development, democracy, and the freedom to practice religion free of a king, government, or dominant church. We talk with Lauck about his new book The Good Country: A History of the American Midwest 1800-1900.
Plus, The Legend of the Northern Lights by the Black Hills Symphony Orchestra will be performed Saturday night in the Rapid City Performing Arts Center. We have a preview with Maestro Bruce Knowles and Emmy-nominated astronomer and visual artist José Francisco Salgado.
