This play offers a glimmer of hope for what could be if we are courageous, empathetic and open to change.

Primarily involving African-Americans and Detroit’s law enforcement, the crisis was precipitated when the police raided an unlicensed bar. It exploded into one of the deadliest and most destructive riots in American history.

The 1967 riots in Detroit were meant to be a catalyst for change. Sadly, the continuing devastation of black communities across the country has made it a dream deferred. In spite of the stark divisions we see playing out all over the United States.
