My Son Asked Why the Hood Has So Many Churches and Liquor Stores. My New Book is the Answer.
The Flint I grew up in was different. It was much more full of life. Don’t get me wrong, we were still considered poor, but there was something there. A pulse. A sense of community and industry, even as the "last hired, first fired" reality of deindustrialization began to take its toll. We had neighbors, block parties, and a feeling that we were part of a city that, while tough, was still whole.
