@motownkid2008 we need to take the city back

A 6 pm curfew was strictly enforced city-wide because the summer of '67 was such a rough time. I was born in the spring of '68 my earliest memories were of a house on MacMillan between McKinstry & Lansing (it's still there according to Google Maps). It always struck me as odd the way other large cities had refurbishment plans but Detroit never did. The riots plus 20 years of Mayor Young not only drove that once-great city into the ground, but broke it off rather permanently. Mayor Young SUCKED!

I was there i was 10 when the riots broke out. I used to play with a black boy across the street on Freeland. I never though of him as black, just as my friend. Suddenly after the riots he went from being my friend to a nigger thug. He busted out three of my windows. When I asked him why he said "CUZ YOUSE WHITEY!!!" He died 2 day later.. got shot when he tried to loot a TV froma store and shot at a cop....he was 11. Not about race? Think again. I never went back after i moved in '70.

The riot accelerated the white flight that had already started. Simply put, Detroit has steadily tanked during the following several decades.
