This week, we're on the road in Alabama. Environmental justice reporter Danny McArthur looks at wastewater issues in the Black Belt, reporting that sanitation is a struggle for people who live in manufactured homes. And senior criminal justice reporter Kat Stromquist visits Birmingham and speaks to Black men's groups, who are responding to a year of deadly gun violence. 

Community engagement producer Nellie Beckett also highlights a few of our Gulf States Gems.
