520    The author of Baldwin's Harlem looks at the evolving 
       culture, politics, economics, and spiritual life of 
       Detroit - a blend of memoir, love letter, history, and 
       clear-eyed reportage that explores the city's past, 
       present, and future and its significance to the African 
       American legacy and the nation's fabric. Herb Boyd moved 
       to Detroit in 1943, as race riots were engulfing the city.
       Though he did not grasp their full significance at the 
       time, this critical moment would be one of many he 
       witnessed that would mold his political activism and 
       exposed a city restless for change. In Black Detroit, he 
       reflects on his life and this landmark place, in search of
       understanding why Detroit is a special place for black 
       people. Boyd reveals how black Detroiters were prominent 
       in the city's historic, groundbreaking union movement and 
       - when given an opportunity - were among the tireless 
       workers who made the automobile industry the center of 
       American industry. Well-paying jobs on assembly lines 
       allowed working-class black Detroiters to ascend to the 
       middle class and achieve financial stability, an 
       accomplishment not often attainable in other industries. 
       Boyd makes clear that while many of these middle-class 
       jobs have disappeared, decimating the population and 
       hitting blacks hardest, Detroit survives thanks to the 
       emergence of companies such as Shinola - which represent 
       the strength of the Motor City and its continued 
       importance to the country. He also brings into focus the 
       major figures who have defined and shaped Detroit, 
       including William Lambert, the great abolitionist; Berry 
       Gordy, the founder of Motown; Coleman Young, the city's 
       first black mayor; diva songstress Aretha Franklin; 
       Malcolm X; and Ralphe Bunche, winner of the Nobel Peace 
       Prize. With a stunning eye for detail and passion for 
       Detroit, Boyd celebrates the music, manufacturing, 
       politics, and culture that make it an American original.
