Per Aspera

Welcome to Per Aspera, a Kansas history podcast. In season 1, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, we’re telling stories about the people and places of Kansas that connect the ideas at the heart of the Declaration of Independence. Each episode brings you a story from Kansas history that reveals what these promises have meant, how we’ve navigated the moments when these principles come into conflict, and what they continue to demand of us today.
