It Is?classic Bill Clinton, Sincere And Deceptive

Detroit Was An Exaggeration Of What Was Going On Across The Country. You Could See The Divisions, Even Within The Civil Rights Movement Of That Period. At The Same Time That Martin Luther King Was Talking About His Dream, Malcolm X Gave His Most Famous Address In Detroit During That Same Period, "the Message To The Grass Roots," Dismissing The Notion Of Integration.

It Is?classic Bill Clinton, Sincere And Deceptive At The Same Time, Requiring A Careful Reading Between The Lines.

There Was A Precarious Balance During Those Crucial Months Between Composition And Decomposition - What The World Gained And What A Great City Lost. Even Then, Some Part Of Detroit Was Dying, And That Is Where The Story Begins.

It Was A Time Of Uncommon Possibility And Freedom, When Detroit Created Wondrous And Lasting Things. But Life Can Be Luminescent When It Is Most Vulnerable.

It Was So Crucial To The Civil Rights Movement That On June 23, 1963, Martin Luther King Came To Town, Walked Down Woodward Avenue With More Than 100,000 People And Delivered The First Major Public Iteration Of His "i Have A Dream" Speech, Two Months Before He Did It In Washington.
