IPR News: Baldwin Adult Education

http://ipraudio.interlochen.org/2009-04-28%20Baldwin%20Adult%20Ed%20FTR%20w%20INTRO.mp3

Times are tough all over Michigan, but times always seem to be tough in Lake County. This week on Interlochen Public Radio we travel to Baldwin, a community with literacy rates estimated to rival Detroit. In Lake, the number of people in poverty mirrors the number of people who don’t have a 12th grade education. IPR’s Linda Stephan starts the series by visiting a group of adults determined to rise above those statistics. They’re going back to school.
