Today, we'll talk to three Michiganders about what the day and its traditions mean to them.  GUESTS:  Reyna Garcia, Grand Rapids artist, social activist, and cultural ambassador Kim Kozlowski, reporter at The Detroit News.  who You can read Kozlowski's story about connecting with her late mom’s Mexican heritage through ofrendas here.
