Detroit 48202 is searing—a powerful reckoning with what it looks like when capital abandons a major American city, and… its white residents also flee when challenged to make it truly equal and just. It is also, however, a stunningly beautiful reminder that corporate greed and ugly racism have utterly failed to
destroy this same city.
