Welcome
1967 is
Detroit’s 1776
A Narrative
for the Hope District
Historical fears of violent
oppression, resentment because of
discrimination and an economic shift from
muscle to technology added to the fury of
the hot summer of 1967. The exact chemistry
is still hard to discern. Yet one impression
seems understandable. The 1967 Rebellion had
to happen for the hope of the grassroots to
be unleashed. The flame of ’67 still burns
for peace, social, political and economic
empowerment. The Hope District is a
manifestation of that flame.
