 Detroit, Michigan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
