Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for the Detroit in Context Downtown Walking Tour.
What makes these tours worth coming back to is not the route. It is the conversation. The questions people ask when they finally have the context to ask them. That has been true for 20 years of tours in Detroit and it was true again yesterday.
If you were on the tour, we want to hear from you. What landed? What surprised you?
And if you missed it, the next tour is May 17th. Details at the website.

If you think you know Detroit's downtown, this tour will challenge that.
The Detroit in Context Downtown Walking Tour is not a sightseeing route. It is a guided conversation about how Detroit's history shows up in the buildings, blocks, and spaces you pass every day including the racist policies that shaped the city's geography, the loss of the Black business district at Paradise Valley, and the ongoing work of equitable development.
Join us this Sunday.
Detroit in Context Downtown Walking Tour Sunday, May 3 at 1:00 PM Book Tower, Rotunda Bar 1265 Washington Blvd, Detroit Tickets from $10
