Current State #629 | October 19, 2015

Today on Current State: Lansing's role in the "My Brother's Keeper" initiative; Michigan Art Teacher of the Year Kerry Shadbolt of Williamston High School; the suicide of an Ishpeming High School football player inspires a documentary; a Pop-Up Story from Charles Upshaw; and a look back at Saturday's MSU football victory at Michigan.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
