- High Cost of Freeways: Systemic racism can be difficult to identify in the real world. In order to show how we interact with it on a daily basis, One Detroit Associate Producer, Will Glover, connects the past and present, looking at what some call Detroit’s oldest monuments to racism–the I-75 and I-375 highways. They destroyed thriving Black communities, displaced thousands, and contributed to white flight from Detroit.
- Election 2020: Macomb County, a Bellweather for the Country: We’re just weeks away from the presidential election. And again, we see a lot of national political interest in Michigan. This year, we wanted to take a closer look at voters in Southeast Michigan to understand what’s changed in recent years, what population shifts we see, and how that will affect the vote.
