In the 50's and into the 60's Detroit was one of the most prosperous cities on earth.

And then came Rat Party rule.

Part of my dad’s side of the family sold their house and got out.
They were a lucky few.

In the 50's and into the 60's Detroit was one of the most prosperous cities on earth.

Detroit was once known as the "Paris of the Midwest."

And then came Rat Party rule.

Mayor Colman Young ruled over Detroit for 20 years. One of his rules was that no white-owned business was allowed to open or expand up anywhere inside the Detroit city limits. As a result, whites and their employees left for the suburbs thereby vacating the city.

That one ruling along with the race riot devastated Detroit's inner city.

In other words, a race riot and a racist mayor put Detroit on the skids.

A couple of years ago they had a city celebration. I can't remember what year they were celebration, probably the 100th of something. And it was all Motown. The parade committee was run by the same people who devastated Detroit. And there was no celebration of the auto industry that put America on wheels.
