The public speaks in Antrim County, and an incredible family discovery

from Up North Lowdown

Isiah Smith was astonished when an author shared some of his research — a bill of sale that enslaved Smith's great grandfather, just a boy at the time. The retired attorney and northern Michigan author talks tonight with that author — Orice Jenkins — whose book, "The Early County Massacre: Goolsby vs. The State of Georgia" is set in the county where Smith was born. We hear from Smith in this episode. We also get the latest about ongoing tensions between the Antrim County clerk and the state Bureau of Elections.
