From The Newsroom: 'Stagger Lee' Creator; Highest Court Sees Housing Case

'Stagger Lee' writer and co-composer Will Power in rehearsal.

Top stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom:  ​We visit Will Power's beginnings in San Francisco's Fillmore District, where the story of folk legend Stagger Lee fascinated him as a child, in Jerome Weeks'  first installment of the Art&Seek series Stagger Lee: Making a Musical.  And some news out of two ongoing sagas in Dallas: housing and home rule.

Lyndsay Knecht is assistant producer for Think.
