On this Friday edition of Stateside, we learned more about the protests at the residences of some University of Michigan regents. Also, we heard how the U.S. Navy is honoring a Northern Michigan soldier who sacrificed his life to save his fellow troops. After that, we took a trip to Metro Detroit to visit the "Hamtramck Disneyland." Then, we checked in a Flint resident who had the eyes of the world on her during the Flint Water Crisis. We finished the show by visiting a Traverse City area based indigenous photographer.
