Today on Stateside, a reporter for Votebeat talked to us about why Macomb County is posting every ballot online.
Then, a new exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum showcases the work of archivists who are telling the stories of former residents of Detroit's Black Bottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods. The Co-Directors of the Black Bottom Archives spoke with us about the legacy of these communities.
