This episode, we're talking about my hometown, Detroit. It's a gentrifying majority-Black city. Professor Kyle Mays - author of City of Dispossessions - sees this current stage of Black Detroiters being dispossessed as part of Detroit's long history of dispossessing both Indigenous and Black people.
Most Native Americans live in cities. Many moved to Detroit around Word War II, and still have relevant issues to discuss.
At the same time, Detroit's white population is growing while its Black population shrinks.
Linking the struggles of these two non-white populations in Detroit presents an interesting history of education, infrastructure, and attempted solidarity.
