  • How Cities Became Kindling: Racism and the Decline of Two Once-Great American Metropolises, Detroit and Baltimore Laura Kathlee
    † Designated as an Exemplary Master’s Project for 2015-16 How Cities Became Kindling: Racism and the Decline of Two Once-Great American Metropolises, Detroit and Baltimore Laura Kathleen Ruble Faculty Advisor: Dr. Susan Thorne Department of History March 2016 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Laura Kathleen Ruble 2016 Abstract Baltimore, Maryland, and Detroit, Michigan, were once sparkling examples of postwar American progress. In the early 20th century, their thriving manufacturing industries and lively cultural scenes brought wealth and acclaim, attracting a steady influx of immigrants and southern Americans searching for a share of their offerings. Like other metropolises across the American Rust Belt, however, the cities have since suffered the effects of postwar deindustrialization. Unemployment and poverty trouble urban centers that once burgeoned during those pre-WWII swells. While the roots of their urban crises are complex, decline in both Detroit and Baltimore demonstrates the powerful impact of racist practices and policies that American cities developed and implemented long before the flight of industry. In this research I explore the role that racism—in both its informal, personal manifestation and its formal, systemic manifestation—had in the decline of both cities. Prewar records including court cases, government ordinances and informal documents demonstrate that Detroit and Baltimore pioneered groundbreaking discriminatory policies and procedures in response to their growing African-American populations in the early 20th century. African Americans were systematically excluded from all but the lowest-level employment positions, resulting in low wages, high unemployment, low work satisfaction and low safety.

But when a Giants fan was assaulted in the parking lot following the game, the victory was marred by the violence of the attack. Today the man is hospitalized in critical condition and questions about the conduct of Dodgers fans linger. What can be done when the competitive atmosphere of team sports crosses the line between avid fandom and physical attacks on fans of the opposing team? Under what circumstances does revelry turn to violence? What can be done to control 4/1/11 SPOR the behavior of fans, many of whom are inebriated? Bill Plaschke 24:00 California budget talks have broken down and sparked a war of words between Governor Jerry Brown and republican lawmakers. Senate GOP leader, Bob Dutton of Rancho Cucamonga, claims Brown aids yelled at him during negotiations, prompting Brown’s spokesman to call Dutton “erratic” and irrelevant.” In this contentious climate Jerry Brown decided to release a new list of pension reforms, an issue that was a republican sticking point during budget talks. Republican lawmakers had been saying they wouldn’t consider Governor Brown’s proposal to put tax extensions before voters, unless he agreed to considerable pension reforms…but now the Governor has his own and he’s hitting the road to sell them to Californians. We’ll 4/1/11 ECON take a look at the governor’s pension proposals and compare and contrast them with what Republicans wanted.

  • From the Cracks of a City by Adam Berry (Detroit 2014)
    1 “At the end of the day, the Detroiter may be the most important American there is because no one knows better than he that weʼre all standing at the edge of the shaft.” – Charlie LeDuff, Detroit, An American Autopsy Adam Berry From the Cracks of a City The beaver is the reason Detroit exists today. Founded by the French in 1701, the city was mainly used as a fur-trading settlement to keep up with the high demand for beaver pelts needed for European fashion trends. The Detroit River, running parallel to and bisecting Detroit and Canada, was a teeming breeding ground for many beavers, offering the perfect oasis for the furry commodities. Over the next century, beavers were all but wiped out in Detroit and the surrounding areas. The industrial boom, starting in the early 20th century in Detroit, did not help matters—runoff into the river made for a caustic ecosystem, killing off any remaining beavers or wildlife calling Detroit home. The beaver wasnʼt the only creature calling Detroit home. At its peak, The Motor City housed over 1.8 million people according to the 1950 census. Today, the city sits at a population just below 700,000 people. Beavers were obviously Beavers were not the only living thing forced from their home. Detroit, by some accounts, is half empty. Many buildings, lots, and parks have gone into disrepair and are widely ignored by the city and its people. Detroitʼs citizens fair no better than the beavers wiped out from its lands many years ago—Detroit is the murder capital of the United states, the unemployed capital, and contains the highest number of citizens living below the poverty line.
