I really loved talking with Flint folks for this piece. What a great, underappreciated city -- I've loved it since the 1990s, when teenage me went to Led Zeppelin laser shows at the planetarium + art movies at museum. flintside.com/features/traci…

The White Bonus is NPR's BOOK OF THE DAY today! What a delightful surprise!

My reporting in this week’s New York Amsterdam News:

This is so good
