The Emergency Manager Paved the Way for Bankruptcy

 

 

In our great city of Detroit, we are fighting to restore the right to be governed by elected leaders.

The imposition of the unelected Emergency Manager has rolled back the historic gains of the 1960s.

Thank You To All That Supported MLK Day 2014

The 11th Annual MLK Day march and rally commemorating Freedom Summer 1964 was a huge success with hundreds in attendance.

Greater Detroit’s annual celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is promoted through an Annual Rally  & Freedom March for truth, freedom, justice, nonviolence and compassionate outreach for those in need. The MLK Day event seeks to keep alive Dr. King’s dream and devotion to realizing ‘The Beloved Community’ in a manner best defined by one of King’s foremost mentors, Mahatma Gandhi, by ‘being the change we wish to see” ~ The Detroit MLK Day Committee

Thank you so much to these sponsors for making MLK Day 2014 possible.
