Understanding the far-reaching impact of race relations in the history of metro Detroit is key to developing a more equitable region for all.\r\n\r\nAccording to the\u00a0Servicio de Parques Nacionales<\/a>, \u201cDetroit ocupa las tierras ancestrales y contempor\u00e1neas de... los ojibwe, los ottawa y los potawatomi\u201d. El Tratado de Detroit de 1807 oblig\u00f3 a los pueblos ind\u00edgenas a abandonar estas tierras y trasladarse a reservas con las que no ten\u00edan ninguna conexi\u00f3n hist\u00f3rica. M\u00e1s de 200 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, los efectos negativos del Tratado de Detroit se pueden observar en la desigualdad a la que se enfrenta esta comunidad:\u00a0Los datos federales muestran que<\/a>\u00a0Native Americans suffer worse outcomes in education, healthcare, and life expectancy, and experience higher rates of obesity, substance abuse, violence and suicide.\r\n\r\nIn 1950, at its peak population of nearly 2 million people, the city of Detroit was 84 percent white (over 1.5 million people). Today, less than 15 percent of Detroit\u2019s 672,000 residents are white \u2014 that\u2019s fewer than 100,000 people. What factors led to the mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of Detroiters from what was once America\u2019s fourth-most populous city? And how did racial division play a part in the development of our city and greater region? Today we\u2019ll explore junctures that exacerbated race-based inequity in the Motor City, including the dismissal of indigenous nations, white flight, Detroit\u2019s bankruptcy, the 1967 uprising, and the destruction of Detroit\u2019s Black Bottom.","":null,"settings":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_group","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_group":{"version":"3","header":{"":null,"show_arrows":false,"heading":"Today's Challenge","subheading":"","abstract":""},"columns":[{"image":"","title":"Read","abstract":"Read about the 1967 uprising<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a01943 race riot<\/a>\u00a0from the Detroit Historical Society.
