KCPW's Public Square Airs Live Weekdays @ 11 a.m., Repeats Weeknights @ 7 p.m.

5,000 Indian families now call Utah home. The growing community is banding together to build a center for hosting cultural events which showcase the heritage of India and South Asia.  The Public Square learns more about this part of our community with Dr. Dinesh Patel, considered by many the father of biotech and pharmaceuticals in the Mountain West region, and Sneha Kumar Kasera, vice president of the India Cultural Center of Utah.

Plus, how much do you really know about Independence Day?  Ken Davis, author of America's Hidden History: Untold Tales of the First Pilgrims, Fighting Women, and Forgotten Founders Who Shaped a Nation talks about the top 10 things most Americans don't know about Independence Day.

And, an engineer's take on the Declaration of Independence. William Hammack's audio essay comes courtesy of Illinois Public Radio and  the Public Radio Exchange.
