David Shepardson is a reporter for Reuters based in Washington D.C. He’s the Detroit News’ former Washington correspondent.

Marc Kruman is a professor of American History at Wayne State University and director of WSU’s Center for Study of Citizenship.

Shepardson and Kruman join Detroit Today with Stephen Henderson to dig into those questions.
