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.
