Detroit: Migration Motors & Music
The changing fortunes of the American city of Detroit
Bridget Kendall and guests examine the story of Detroit. Founded in 1701 by a French man named Cadillac, this American city became famous in the twentieth century for its automobile industry, the music of Motown, and the great unrest seen on the city鈥檚 streets in the summer of 1967. In this programme, Bridget and guests discuss the city鈥檚 changing fortunes and its fascinating history, from the role played by some residents in the 鈥楿nderground Railroad鈥� of the nineteenth century, to its recent experience of bankruptcy. Bridget is joined by Herb Boyd, Stephen Henderson, Thomas Sugrue and Anna Clark. Also featuring Tiya Miles and Carleton Gholz.
