If you didn't know, Black people were the leaders of the the abolitionist movement & the Underground Railroad in Detroit. In fact, the fight against slavery is what CREATED the Black community IN DETROIT! Please come out and learn about the people, the events, and the places that showed Black cooperative action, Black agency, and Black unity that created a Black community.

This is a walking & People Mover Tour.

We meet at Campus Martius Park at 1:00 pm next to the Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument

Suggested Parking - Compuware Parking Lot ($10) or EZ Parking Lot (outside next to Campus Martius -$8) However, if you know of a free or less expensive parking spot, please choose it. Meters are good for 2 hours.

Tour Price = $ 12 per person. Also, bring 1.50 for the People Mover.

Before folks looked at Mike Duggan, Dan Gilbert and Mike Ilitch as the "Saviors" of Detroit, Black people KNEW that they were the true heroes of freedom & opportunity in this city.

We need to re-learn this lesson.

Detroit's Black community was formed from faith, freedom & fire. We had to FIGHT for our lives and our liberty. As you see what is happening in Baltimore, you should know that Detroit's Black community BEGAN due to a REBELLION (so-called riot).

Rebellions create community. Learn how it happened in Detroit on this history tour

Bring your families & friends. This is a whole new way of knowing Detroit.
