    139 SQUARE MILES 139 Square Miles Photography Michelle Andonian Sculpture featured on cover by Carlos Nielbock 1st Printing: July 2017 Printed By: Inland Press Detroit, MI 1 139 SQUARE MILES 2 Foreword FOREWORD At the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, we believe that informed and engaged communities are essential to a well-functioning, representative democracy. This mission is guided by our support for free expression, journalistic excellence, civic engagement, and equitable, inclusive and participa- tory communities. It is built upon the vision of our founders, John S. and James L. Knight, newspaper publishers who were deeply committed to presenting the full, actual, contextual truth in service to their communities. It is with our mission in mind that the Knight Foundation is pleased to support Detroit Future City’s publication of 139 Square Miles. Nearly five years ago, Detroit Future City was born out of a process that engaged more than 160,000 Detroiters to create a 50-year vision for the city’s future. The resulting Detroit Strategic Framework, released in 2013, was crafted with a tremendous amount of data and research on the state of Detroit and the prospects ahead. Now, at a time of continuing transformation for Detroit, it is important to explore a new snapshot of the city’s progress and ongoing challenges. Detroit Future City has endeavored here to present the truth about the realities facing our city today. All Detroiters deserve to be empowered with information that is open, accessible and verifiable. To effect change, residents, policymakers, journalists, civic leaders, business owners, and activists need to work together using a common set of facts.

Under federal legislation enacted very early in the 20th Century, state militia forCes have been given major federal assistanCe in pay, training, and eQuipment and have been given federal status as part of the Army National Guard of the United States, one of the seven Reserve Components of the United States Armed ForCes.3 After World War II, when the Air Force beCame a separate serviCe rather than part of the Army, Congress Created the Air National Guard of the United States as a similar hybrid state-federal military serviCe. Anthony Wayne V is a Staff Sergeant (SSG) in the MiChigan Army National Guard. When he enlisted, he took two enlistment oaths, one to the State of MiChigan and one to the United States of AmeriCa.
