On this episode of Stateside, we learned about the dramatic health impacts of multiple evictions on Black women. Then, Governor Gretchen Whitmer spoke about her concerns regarding tariffs and President Donald Trump's possible pardon of the men convicted of plotting to kidnap her in 2020.
After that, the Archives of Michigan shared a story from 1906 of two teenage girls who were sentenced to five years in prison for sneaking out to go dancing. Following that story, we learned about the coffee connection between Congo and Traverse City.
