Offering an expansive discussion of this iconic city, Black Detroit ranges in subject from Antoine de Lamothe Cadillac's initial vision of what would become a thriving metropolis to the city's glory days as the center of American commerce; from the waves of fugitives traveling on the Underground Railroad to the advent of the People Mover circling downtown; from the creation of the unparalleled sound of Motown to the emergence of Wayne State University as a hotbed of political thought. Boyd combines deep passion and a stunning eye for detail to seamlessly blend personal experience, exhaustive research, and eyewitness accounts collected from some of the city's wisest griots. Black Detroit looks at the influence African Americans have had on various aspects of the city's history, culture, and politics, including the auto industry--both as the cornerstone of the union movement and the majority population on the factory floor--and it reframes the riots sparked by police brutality and housing discrimination from the perspective of the people most impacted by the city's neglectful policies. In the process, the book presents a roll call of the illustrious men and women who have defined and shaped the Motor City, including Malcolm X, Aretha Franklin, Berry Gordy, Fannie Richards, abolitionist William Lambert, and Coleman Young, Detroit's first black mayor. This important book documents how a committed work ethic, a well-developed spirit of resistance, and a deep sense of heritage continue to run strong through Detroit's black community--providing the true engine propelling the city's reemergence as a viable urban center for the twenty-first century." -- |cBook jacket. 650 0 African Americans |zMichigan |zDetroit |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE |xEthnic Studies |xAfrican American Studies. |2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE |xSociology |xUrban. |2bisacsh 650 7 African Americans |xHistory |yMichigan |z20th century. |2cct 650 7 Biographies. |2cct 650 7 African Americans. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799558 651 0 Detroit (Mich.) |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Detroit (Mich.) |vBiography. 651 7 Detroit (Mich.) |xHistory |z20th century. |2cct 651 7 Michigan |zDetroit. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205010 655 7 collective biographies. |2aat 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf 600 10 Boyd, Herb, |d1938- |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80003074 600 17 Boyd, Herb, |2cct 600 17 Boyd, Herb, |d1938- |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01987384 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 758 |ihas work:Black Detroit (Text) |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGjgw7643TT8bXd4JvfRmm |4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork 700 1 Watson, JoAnn Ford, |ewriter of foreword. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96031390 700 1 Lockett, Ron, |ewriter of afterword. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2017056845 852 0 |bdixn |hF574.D49 |iN429 2017 902 dls |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170720 904 dls |ba |hm |cb |e20170720 914 (OCoLC)ocn952206841 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d11172022 |eprocessed |f952206841 916 2024-02-03 |b952206841 |cWorldCat record variable field(s) change: 758 |d10280482 |d99102804823506421 |eWorldShare Record Update 916 2024-02-09 |b952206841 |cWorldCat record variable field(s) change: 758 |d10280482 |d99102804823506421 |eWorldShare Record Update
