Can we save our schools in Michigan?
Michigan public schools will lay off thousands of employees and more than 100 districts could be insolvent if the state doesn’t find a way to plug a $400-per-pupil funding shortfall in funding next year.

Debating Demolition & Downsizing in Detroit
The NY Times took a look at new efforts to save Michigan Central Station and NPR reports that with a quarter of Detroit's 350,000 buildings vacant or in shambles, Mayor Dave Bing wants to reshape the city by getting rid of them and relocating residents who live in desolate neighborhoods, saying it's too expensive to provide city services in areas that are like urban deserts.

Michigan's Rich African American Past
For years, February has been recognized as Black History Month. In nearly 250 years of living in Michigan, African Americans have made many important-and often overlooked--contributions to our state's past. Article includes information on the Underground Railroad and notable figure such as Sojourner Truth, Ralph Bunche, Berry Gordy Jr., actor James Earl Jones, John Conyers Jr., Rosa Parks.
