Ok, here's the deal: I've seen that video over 20 times and about 20 different people posted a thread about it over 20 times. So, what's your point? Personally, I thought the DPD messed up Detroit on that hot July 23, 1967 summer morning. Corrupt then, corrupt now... (Message edited by detroitrise on March 16, 2008) |

Detroitrise, One thing about the film is thar are no blacks, slums and ghettos in the frame. Cavanaugh wants to Detroit film appeal to investors and tourists. |

Slums and ghettos no, why the hell would they put slums or ghettos in the movie when they are trying to tell a great story of Detroit? Blacks are in the video. |

Detroitrise put it succinctly, that story ended on July 23, 1967. |
