TEMPERATURES.
AND, WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE
NEXT CHANCE FOR STORMS ALL IN
THE NEXT LOOK AT WEATHER.
PROTEST CONTINUE IN A FIGHT
TO FREE GRACE.
THE OAKLAND COUNTY TEENAGER
JAILED FOR VIOLATING HER
PROBATION BY NOT COMPLETING HER
ONLINE SCHOOLWORK.
TODAY STUDENTS FROM THE
BIRMINGHAM SCHOOL DISTRICT
GATHERED OUTSIDE THE COUNTY
COURTHOUSE DEMANDING HER

APRIL MORTON HAS MORE.
NO JUSTICE
NO PEACE.
AS 15-YEAR-OLD GRACE SITS IN
A JUVENILE DETENTION SORTER,

TREATING A CHILD OR TEENAGER

ROSE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND
COFOUNDER OF BLACK LIVES MATTER
IN ALL CAPACITIES, IS REFERRING

GRACE WAS ON PROBATION FOR
THOSE CHARGES WHEN THE JUDGE

AFTER A REVIEW OF HER CASE
ON MONDAY, THE JUDGE RULED TO
HAVE GRACE REMAIN AT CHILDREN'S
VILLAGE, WHERE SHE IS CURRENTLY
IN STAGE TWO OF A FIVE STAGE
PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM COULD TAKE MONTHS
TO COMPLETE, AND THIS GROUP
