I’m two generations away from Denison Ia farm country. It always amazes me that in an area of Iowa that was built by immigrants has forgotten their heritage. If you look up the reasons for the mass migration from Schleswig-Holstein to Davenport as well as Schleswig and Denison you would find the same reason for today’s immigrants.
Iowa used to empower empathy and reasoning, today empathy is being bludgeoned by Christian Nationalists creating sound bites and disinformation.
Lorena, I’m thrilled to find you! I look forward to reading about what you are seeing!
