Forged By Fire: Detroit’s Riots & Rebellions and Turbulent Racial History
Saturday, May 27 | 10–11:30 a.m.
Detroit has been the center for uprisings from the 1700s to the present-day. From Pontiac’s Rebellion in 1763 to the Blackburn Uprising in 1833 to the race riots in 1863 and 1943, all the way to the 1967 Rebellion, Detroit has had a turbulent history, especially regarding the issue of racial tension, and understanding this history is a first step in addressing the underlying issues that caused them, and prevent them from
happening again.
