  • The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role Did Race Play?
    The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role did Race Play? Reynolds Farley* University of Michigan at Michigan Perhaps no city in the United States has a longer and more vibrant history of racial conflict than Detroit. It is the only city where federal troops have been dispatched to the streets four times to put down racial bloodshed. By the 1990s, Detroit was the quintessential “Chocolate City-Vanilla Suburbs” metropolis. In 2013, Detroit be- came the largest city to enter bankruptcy. It is an oversimplification and inaccurate to argue that racial conflict and segregation caused the bankruptcy of Detroit. But racial issues were deeply intertwined with fundamental population shifts and em- ployment changes that together diminished the tax base of the city. Consideration is also given to the role continuing racial disparity will play in the future of Detroit after bankruptcy. INTRODUCTION The city of Detroit ran out of funds to pay its bills in early 2013. Emergency Man- ager Kevyn Orr, with the approval of Michigan Governor Snyder, sought and received bankruptcy protection from the federal court and Detroit became the largest city to enter bankruptcy. This paper explores the role that racial conflict played in the fiscal collapse of what was the nation’s fourth largest city. In June 1967 racial violence in Newark led to 26 deaths and, the next month, rioting in Detroit killed 43. President Johnson appointed Illinois Governor Kerner to chair a com- mission to explain the causes of urban racial violence. That Commission emphasized the grievances of blacks in big cities—segregated housing, discrimination in employment, poor schools, and frequent police violence including the questionable shooting of nu- merous African American men.

  • Palmer Woods Centennial Gala
    CELEBRATE! PALMER WOODS CENTENNIAL GALA Detroit Golf Club Saturday, September 19, 2015 Palmer Woods Centennial Logos s part of the Palmer Woods 100-Year Celebration, the Palmer Woods Centennial Committee sponsored a design competition to create a new visual logo for the Aneighborhood’s Centennial year. Artists were invited to submit their vision for a Centennial logo. The following artists submitted the winning logos: PHIL LEWIS – 1st Place Winner The winning logo was conceived by Phil Lewis, a lifelong Detroiter, Cass Tech graduate and recipient of a BFA from the Center for Creative Studies majoring in Illustration. “My mother used to say I was born with a paintbrush in my hand. Drawing was an escape for me,” remarks Phil. His natural ability was honed at Cass Tech under the tutelage of well known teachers such as Dr. Cledie Taylor, Marian Stephens and Irving Berg. Entering the contest to design a logo in celebration of the Palmer Woods Centennial was an easy decision for Phil. He loves the city of Detroit and considers Palmer Woods one of Detroit’s jewels. Even though he does not live in the neighborhood, he is good friends with residents and very aware of the community. Phil’s logo design was inspired by the beauty, history and character of the homes. Consequently, his logo effectively captures the spirit of our strong and beautiful community. Currently Phil is the owner of Phil Lewis Studio and a Digital Content Artist for MRM McCann Advertising. As the winning artist for the neighborhood contest, Phil’s logo is featured on banners that are be placed on light posts within and along the perimeter of the neighborhood.
