About this Event

The famous Ossian & Gladys Sweet Case is JUST THE BEGINNING!
The history of housing discrimination and residential segregation impacts education, business, employment, and wealth. Housing segregation in Detroit has created a foundation of inequality that helped to cause a wealth gap, environmental racism, along with race riots and rebellions.
We will be visiting 8 important sites connected to the history of housing segregation and civil rights in Detroit.
Join Official Detroit Historian and Tour Leader Jamon Jordan as he leads a BUS tour of important historic sites connected to this history as well as discussions of Detroit's Race Riots, civil rights cases, racial restrictive covenants, redlining, segregated housing AND schools in Detroit, and historic sundown neighborhoods in Detroit and historic Sundown Towns near Detroit.
And what did segregation have to do with the 1943 Race Riot?
And what did it have to do with the 1967 Rebellion?
We meet in front of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History at 11:45am on Saturday, April 19th.
We will load the bus and then begin the tour at noon!
