Stateside for Thursday, June 20th, 2013

It'll be 50 years ago in August when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his now iconic "I have a Dream Speech." But King gave an earlier version of that speech on June 23rd, 1963 in Detroit. We took a look back to the events during that address that some Detroiters say was just as important as the March on Washington.

And, as the first day of summer rears its head, Michigan Radio's sports commentator joined us to remember summers past.

And, we spoke with a Michigan poet who has built his own version of Stonehenge just north of Traverse City.

Also, author and shipwreck explorer Valerie Van Heest joined us to discuss the mystery behind a plane crash that occurred over the Great Lakes 63 years ago.

First on the show, it's Thursday. Time for our weekly check-in with Detroit News Business Columnist Daniel Howes.

As the story of Detroit's possible---and many say likely---bankruptcy continues to unfold, we keep hearing that many people are going to feel financial hardship.  And when you look at all the possible parties who will be feeling the pain, it seems that some of the most vulnerable are city retirees.

Daniel Howes joined us in the studio today to discuss what bankruptcy will mean for Detroit residents.
