History of Detroit

There were a lot of things about Detroit that I never knew about, such as Lakewood. I never knew that part existed. Workers at Ford motor company only got paid 5$ a day. But back then , that was somewhat managable for family income. Over 414,000 whites moved out by the 70's and 80's. The first African American Mayor of Detroit was Coleman A. Young. He ended a lot of the segregation that took place in the city. Detroit overall is the oldest city in the nation founded in the 1770's.
