Humanities Kansas is turning back the clock to 1972 with a new podcast series to commemorate its upcoming 50th anniversary in 2022. Clio’s Scroll Productions is producing the podcast, which will explore Kansas in 1972. You’ll learn about Kansas connections to national events such as the Equal Rights Amendment, the American Indian Movement, and the presidential campaign of Shirley Chisholm. You'll also hear local stories about the lettuce boycott in Topeka in support of the Farm Labor Movement; why western Kansas farmers protested space race funding; and the link between Smokey Bear, the conservation movement, and a Kansas artist; and many, many other stories.
