On this edition of Stateside, we heard details about Wayne State University clearing an encampment of protesters who were anti-war and in support of divestment from Israel. The campus encampment existed for approximately a week until it was cleared Thursday morning. Then, a Detroit historian recalled how the Michigan Central Station impacted those who migrated to the city, particularly during the Great Migration. We closed the show with a discussion about reforms being made to Michigan's indigent defense system.
