Detroit has not only been a haven of freedom on the Underground Railroad. It was also a site for slavery and discrimination. Learn History!
About this Event

Detroit has not only been a haven of freedom, and a city known for Black Power and Freedom Fighting. It has also been a city that was controlled by racists, imperialists, and oppressive businessmen. Many of the most famous historic Detroiters were involved in the slave trade, as well as atrocities against the Native Americans, and oppression of the poor.
Learn about some of Detroit's so-called "Founding Fathers," and their dastardly deeds.
From Cadillac to Campau - from Cass to Cobo - Detroit has had villains.
On Saturday, May 3rd, take this walking tour to learn about some of Detroit's Indigenous history, its early Black history, and the enemies of freedom in Detroit's history.
We Meet at the Michigan Soldiers and Sailors Monument at Campus Martius Park in downtown Detroit at 12:45pm to check in. The tour starts at 1pm.
Tour is $30 if you pay ahead online & $40 if you pay in person on the day of the tour.
