We'll also get an update on the much anticipated Detroit '67 Project from Project Director Marlowe Stoudamire.  Will it be completely ready for the 50th anniversary of the Motor City's civil unrest?  And WXYZ Digital Director Seth Myers joins us to discuss the role social media played in the historic sit-in on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
