In many ways, the Ozarks are trying to catch up to modern American culture while still retaining old values. The "code of the hills" still keeps the region mostly white, and it has long been a haven for supremacists.
In the second segment of Thursday's Up to Date, Steve Kraske sits down with KCUR's own Frank Morris and Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights president Leonard Zeskind to talk about the difficult cultural tensions that boil beneath rural Southern Missouri.
Guests:
- Frank Morris, News Director, KCUR.
- Leonard Zeskind, President of the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights. Author of Blood & Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream.
