Episode 7 of MAYBE IT’S ME is out! (Sorry for the delay … I somehow forgot to upload the actual recording of the episode!)
How did a Jewish cemetery end up inside a General Motors Cadillac plant? Why did the city seize the Detroit neighborhood that once surrounded that cemetery, demolish the houses, businesses, and churches in which the Polish Catholic, Jewish, and African American residents once lived and worked and prayed, and give the land to GM? And why were my parents so upset that I was in a relationship with one of the Polish Catholic guys who grew up in that neighborhood (not his parents were any too happy that he was dating ME)?
If you’re interested, here’s a link to the Chene Street Project that is mentioned in this episode, as well as its Facebook page.
