This week, we hear how the legal system can have a disproportionate impact on low income individuals. Fines and fees can pile up and experts say that can keep people in a cycle of poverty. We’ll learn what other states are doing to improve the situation. East St. Louis has a rich cultural history, but even many of its residents are unaware. A new effort is underway to show the town’s contributions. And speaking of history, Illinois has plenty to brag about when it comes to homegrown musical artists. We’ll learn about plans for the Rock and Roll Museum on Route 66. That and more on this episode of Statewide.
