Porch Swing also features original songs and non-traditional songs played in the Hot Swing style. Now based in the Black Hills, the present collective includes Dylan Lewis, Joe Von Holtum, Reuben Rodriguez, Louis Umbarger, Alex Diaz, Jeremy Quick, and James Schragg.

On Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 2:00pm in the Betty Strong Encounter Center auditorium, John Liepa presents Iowa’s Ethnic Heritage, or “Who Do You Think We Are?” Admission is free, but freewill donations encouraged.

This interactive talk will let us work together to discover who we are, and who we are becoming as Iowans. Enjoy the unfolding and changing adventure of Iowa’s immigration history. Beginning with the Ioway, one of 17 distinctive indigenous tribal groups, Liepa will trace chronologically who we are as Iowans.

From Spanish explorers and French trappers, traders and priests; to the dominant English, Germans and Irish; to Scandinavians, Dutch and Czechs, we will explore why these groups chose to leave their homelands and how they eventually ended up in Iowa. African Americans, Eastern Europeans and Hispanics have different stories to share along with other “newer” Iowans.

Liepa is Professor Emeritus of History and Political Science at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC.) He taught courses in Political Science, U.S., and Iowa History from 1972-2010. Since retiring, he has taught courses for the Senior College of Greater Des Moines, OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) at Drake University and as an independent presenter on “Iowa’s Role in the Civil War,” Iowa’s Ethnic Heritage, or “Who Do You Think You Are?,” and the “Early History of Baseball in Iowa.” John has been a 24-year-old member and Program Chair of the Des Moines Civil War Roundtable.

The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center has received a grant award from Humanities Iowa, a state-based affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, in support of the Humanities Series programs.
