Some people go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, I went to Paris specifically to visit a bookstore and flip through the academic study of Detroit’s post-bankruptcy narrative that includes a chapter on civic storytelling (where I’m extensively quoted)

PSA, Detroit has a noise ordinance, not a “I don’t like when you have company visiting your private residence at 1 am” ordinance. Detroit can issue blight violations, not “your guest parked their car on a public street but in front of my house” violation.

In about an hour and a half I’ll have the best slow-cooked pork belly in an apple-herb-chardonnay brine in the whole city so hmu if you want a piece

Mrs. Robinson was my math teacher all throughout Chrysler (and the reason why to this day I look at four numbers and try to come up with the sum of 24), but also when I talk about Detroit being so interconnected, this is what I mean.

You could walk through Second Baptist Church without realizing how close you are to one of its most important spaces.

In this chapter of Melia’s Moving People, Melia Howard and Lauren Stovall join Priscilla Robinson to uncover where the church’s former safe haven once stood and why the traces left behind still matter today.

It’s a powerful reminder that some of Detroit’s history is still right there, waiting to be noticed. 💜

Tours of the exhibit can be scheduled with the Detroit Underground Railroad Society by appointment at (313) 961-0325.
