Thursday on Lake Effect, we look at the racial disparity in who was given curfew tickets during last summer’s racial justice protests in Wisconsin. Then, for Lupus Awareness Month, we speak with someone who’s been living with the disease for a decade. Plus, get some tips on how to protect warm weather plants during these cool, spring nights.

Guests:
