I grew up in Detroit in the fifties and sixties. Although I no longer live there it still feels like home and I return home.
From the beginning of the crack epidemic in the mid-eighties through the city's bankruptcy in 2012 Detroiters refer to those as the lost years. Everything slowly started falling apart and then it sped up. This story is about the human toll that happened. Things are a world better but the city is still slowly, determinedly coming back.
