arson

First, we visited the memorial held for the tragic Grand Blanc shooting. Then, we heard about the restoration of the Beaver Island lighthouse from some historic preservationists. Also, a bit more about Traverse City's weekly pinball tournament

We opened Stateside with a debrief on the horrific shooting and arson at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Then, some information on the new state budget deal. Also, more on a new book recounting the life of a black disabled woman killed by police violence and the activism her death inspired. Plus, a bit about the factors behind the resignation of Wayne State's President Kimberly Andrews Espy and a dangerous story about Sleeping Bear Dunes' famous Overlook #9.

We hear from Gift of Life Michigan about advocacy for organ and tissue donation. Then, we revisit a conversation with one of the great musical surprises from small town Michigan – The War and Treaty. And, the team at Points North and Interlochen Public Radio bring us the mystery of an arson.
