 | | Strained racial relations were evident in the trial of Ossian Sweet, a fl Detroit physician acquitted of murder after he shot into a large mob when he moved from the all-fl part of the city to an all-white area. |
 | | Many of these problems are blamed on the widespread middle-class flight (which has contributed greatly to urban decay), poverty, de facto segregation of the region, and unemployment. |
 | | Some credit years of divisive, racially polarized government under Coleman Young with accelerating this flight; during the administration of Dennis Archer, who succeeded Young, Detroit saw middle-class residents moving into the city, and a large growth in residential and commercial development. |
