Detroit 1967: Origins, Impacts, Legacies Edited by Joel Stone

SALE BOOK! In the summer of 1967, Detroit experienced one of the worst racially charged civil disturbances in United States history. Fifty years later, native Detroiters cite this event as pivotal in the city's history, yet few completely understand what happened, why it happened, or how it continues to affect the city today. It is editor Joel Stone's intention with Detroit 1967: Origins, Impacts, Legacies to draw memories, facts, and analysis together to create a broader context for these conversations, including colonial slavery along the Detroit River and an examination of the state of race relations today.
