Detroit: From Boom to Bust and Back Again

Detroit was once one of America's greatest cities, but the tumultuous events of the last century have had devastating effects. It has long been a city of conflicting extremes--during the Civil War, it was both a haven for runaway slaves and an area of growing discrimination. The auto industry created an economic boom but also a housing crisis. Now, Detroit is battling bankruptcy, a plummeting population, and a gentrifying center surrounded by impoverished suburbs. This is rock bottom, but this brief history shows how many individuals are treating that as a solid foundation on which to build the city's future.
