Voters in Michigan are being asked to choose members of the State Board of Education, and local outlet BridgeDetroit has published a primer on who the candidates are and what they stand for. The board oversees statewide education policy, and the race is drawing attention as residents look for information before casting their ballots.

American Black Journal's ongoing Black Church in Detroit series, produced with BridgeDetroit, turns to the topic of 'Faith in Detroit', looking at who will lead the Black church going forward. The discussion considers generational change, declining membership and how congregations are preparing new leaders, as the Black church's historic role in Detroit's civic and spiritual life faces new pressures.
