Did Detroit ever recover from the race riots in 1967?

I'm from Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit and I would say that no damage to the societal or structural components of the city can be attributed to just the race riot of 1967.  In fact, many stores are still loited or burned in Detroit (on a daily basis but not masses of them), and African Americans are still not treated completely fairly.  I think that the race riots helped civil rights laws develop in the city but definitely helped completely deplete the city's budget, and may have helped halt tourism to the city.

I was in New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. When we were evacuating the city we passed by very poor neighborhoods. Most of the people living in those neighborhoods were African American. They were sitting on the porches waving to us. I asked my boyfriend why they weren't leaving and he said they didn't have enough money for gas, food, hotel etc.. I don't think its the entire black race that feels this way about it. Just those in New Orleans who did not have enough money to evacuate.

By 1965 concerted efforts to break the grip of state disfranchisement had been under way for some time, but had achieved only modest success overall and in some areas had proved almost entirely ineffectual. The murder of voting-rights activists in Philadelphia, Mississippi, gained national attention, along with numerous other acts of violence and terrorism. Finally, the unprovoked attack on March 7, 1965, by state troopers on peaceful marchers crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, en route to the state capitol in Montgomery, persuaded the President and Congress to overcome Southern legislators' resistance to effective voting rights legislation. President Johnson issued a call for a strong voting rights law and hearings began soon thereafter on the bill that would become the Voting Rights Act.

Ask Michael Jordan, Condoleezza Rice, or Robert Johnson...\n\nQuit using race as a crutch and get to work...

Sure, what would be good about them?  Basketball at that level is very physical, and it should be.  And, I can see occasionally a pushing match, or even punches being exchanged.  But, a brawl even approaching the level of what happened in Detroit is terrible for everyone!

You can go to local library and check newspaper archives for any mention of the street address.  Of course, it would be easier if you had an idea of the time that the incident occured.  \n\nIf you don't know, you could ask at a local community board or neighborhood association if anyone remembers the incident or has more information on local resources to do such research.

The racetrack abbreviated DET is Detroit Race Course and they have no live racing in 2006.  Not sure what you're asking, I need more information and I could maybe help.

I lived in Burlington for 4 years and it is probably the most open and accepting place I have ever been.  I have never heard about any race issues there.  There is a small african american community, but there are actually a lot of african refugees too.  I would HIGHLY recommend lving there, it is a great place!!

Yes. It ensured fairness to all, without the violence. It was an excellent way to show that the blacks were being unfair, without increasing the amount of hate they received.

No death penalty in Michigan, as far as I know.  I left Detroit thirteen years ago since the blacks had adequately trashed the city and whenever I talk about Detroit I call it F'd City.

I live here in Philadelphia, Mississippi where that happened. \nYou might try our local newspaper. They have a continuing series about all the events of that incident. Feel free to e-mail me @ yahoo if you have any more questions.I was a small child but I remember some things.\nHope this helps. Blessings...

Well, I was there. Still am. I know what happened to Latasha Harlins and I certainly remember the riots.
