Dialogues with the City THIS IS DETROIT

In a local school, 123 pupils were asked by a teacher, “Were you born in Detroit?” Sixty-nine
replied, “Yes.” Fifty-four said, “No.” Since nearly 45 percent of these students had moved to
Detroit from some other place, the teacher and the classes became interested in determining
how many of their parents were native Detroiters. Upon inquiry it was found that in only seven
cases were both parents born here. In twenty cases one of the parents was born here, but in
ninety-six cases neither father nor mother had been born in Detroit. In other words, most of
these parents were not native Detroiters.

stories that are most affected by the changes. Historically, progress
and improvement in Detroit have served as representations of how not
to pursue urban renewal. It could be argued that the plan’s greatest
failure was its ignorance in regard to the lives and desires of the people
who were to become the subject of the massive changes in the 1950’s
and up into present day Detroit, and the inability to integrate its own
citizens’ dreams into its plan. Very few cities could boast of having a
population as diverse and dynamic as the population of people that
lived in Detroit in 1950, but the city failed miserably at utilizing that
enormous asset to its advantage.

Black and White. In some ways, my moving
to Detroit was almost a political statement. I
did not want to live and raise my kids in white
suburbia. I wanted to live in congruency with
my politics. When I decided to buy a house—a
large financial investment—I decided to do it
in Detroit. My neighborhood is aesthetically
beautiful. My neighbors are very close. At any
point we can have a party just by calling all
the neighbors together. [laughs] I just can’t
see living anywhere else.
I’m involved in politics partly because I’m so
angry. Last night [November7, 1990] some
comrades and I watched that terribly onesided ABC TV show ‘Prime Time” that focused
on Detroit and Mayor Young. It said nothing
about the good side, the good people, the
positives of Detroit.

Mast (1994)

I’ve lived in Detroit since I was born in 1950 and
I’ve watched the neighborhoods change. The first
neighborhood I lived in, where my parents still live,
was in an area of Lothrop and West Grand Boulevard.
It’s made up of all kinds of flats and duplexes. It was a
middle class neighborhood in the 1950s. There was one
Black family when I was born. By the time I was fifteen
it was almost all Black. I grew up with the advantages
of a multicultural background. On my block there was
a German family, a Japanese family, a Polish family, an
Irish family—all first generation—along with two Arab
families: mine and another of Lebanese background.
Then Black families moved in. The second Black
family on the block was Roger Short’s family. He’s
now the auditor-general of the city of Detroit. When I
moved here onto Parkside Street, I was one of the last
whites to move onto his block. We had divisions in the
neighborhood, but they were geographical, not racial.
Roger Short was the big ally on my block. He was the kid
who scared away the gangs from the other blocks, all of
whom were white. He was protecting us.

Mast (1994)

I moved to Detroit to work for the Associated Press. I was miserable in that environment. It was the most racist and
sexist place I ever had the lack of pleasure to work in. I fell in love with Detroit. My involvement in Poletown started
in 1981. The first time I visited a Poletown neighborhood council meeting, the people really won my heart. They were
hard-working, working-class, union people who were gradually putting together a pretty sophisticated analysis of what
was being done to them in the destruction of their community. I wanted to put my skills at their disposal, so I don’t
think I missed another meeting after that.
The resilience of the people in Poletown is one of the things that I found most striking. People were having their
neighborhood decimated, houses were on fire, there was construction dust. People would come into the church center
and say, “I can’t breathe, I can’t sleep at night.” The folks in Poletown invited the daughter of the chairman of General
Motors to have her wedding at the Immaculate Conception Church [scheduled for demolition] when it became public
that she was getting married. They rented a bulldozer and took it to the house of the chairman of General Motors to let
him know how it felt to have bulldozers pull up on his lawn. Once the church had been taken over by the police, they
wove flowers through the fence that was between them and church demolition. Police officers were put every twelve
feet along the fence to keep people from scaling the fence to stop the demolition. The ladies went and got red vigil
candles from the church that they had saved and put them beside the feet of every police officer.
The neighborhood was not saved. The Cadillac plant was built. It’s not been a very productive or worthwile plant, even
from GM’s perspective. Ironically, the analysts have said that the plant’s too big. [Laughs] Shortly after opening the
plant, they permanently laid off 17,000 Michigan workers. The City Council was quoted as saying that was a real slap in
the face after all they had done for GM. But I wouldn’t say the struggle for Poletown was for nothing.

I was born in Puerto Rico in 1953. When my mother was pregnant
with me, my father came to Detroit to do labor. His entry to Detroit
in the early ‘50s was part of the second migration of Puerto Ricans to
the mainland. This was part of Operation Bootstrap, which included a
major exportation of labor from Puerto Rico.
The second wave settled in an established Mexican community in the
Corktown area, the Holy Trinity area. That’s where I was brought up.
The second wave was much more reflective of the island as it is now: a
rainbow of colors.
I came to Detroit when I was five years old. I was an altar boy at Holy

Osvaldo Rivera being quoted in Detroit Lives, by Robert H. Mast (1994) Osvaldo Rivera is the director of Latino Family Services, in the southwest section of Detroit.
The alienation took place in the way we live, in production, the way we related to each other. Then as we got all of these refrigerators, those
electric gadgets, I don’t need the neighbors next door for nothing. I got my own TV, my own movies. I’ve got my own icebox. I don’t have to
borrow nothing from them. Now you can’t borrow nothing from your neighbors because they don’t relate to each other.

I can give you a story. My life. Starting when I was a little kid, going on
about three or four years old. I was living in the area around Hastings.
Hastings was the worst street in Detroit. They still got prostitutes over
there now, in the old condemned houses. I used to go down Hastings,
them prostitutes used to get kids, nine, ten years old, they’d get them
to go down to the five-and-ten-cent-store, and have them to stealing
perfume and lipstick, little cheap perfume, go down and steal a batch,
they’d give us a quarter for it. ‘Til my father found out I skipped school
stealing it. That was the last time.

Now I have a son in college. And I’m really interested in what they’re
doing in college today. It cost quite a deal of money to send your kids
to college today. It’s not just like getting a high school education. It
costs you money.
I’m sending my son to college. I’m not married. I’m a single woman and
I work and I’m trying to send my son through college because I’m trying
to make him responsible. I’m trying to open up things that could happen today, the ways of life and the ways that people should live regardless to whether they do live this way or not.
I have a very open heart. And I’m Christian-hearted. My mother raised
me. My mother was a very Christian woman and she knows nothing but
Christianity. And she raised me in this respect. Respect. And do unto
others as you would have them do unto you. And this I was raised with
and I respect that as of today. And I teach it to my son the same thing
down the line.
Now my son is nineteen years old. He graduated at the age of sixteen.
And, I never had any trouble with my son. He doesn’t have his name on

any police records as of today. And he’s a very respectable kid around
the city. And, as being a mother, working hard, doing the things that
I think a mother should do, I’ve given up very much for the kid. I try to
teach him the right way to go.

People say, life is what you make out of it.
Some years you progress and there’s some, regardless what you do to try to get ahead, it’s always something come up that will pull you right
back to where you started. I have experienced these things up from nineteen fifty-eight up until now, off and on.
Everything is running smooth and all of a sudden something, that puts you in a rut, makes you fall right down it. Then again, it could be one of
the kids gets sick. That’s a lot of worry and unhappiness. There’s a lot of things that can happen make you unhappy.
Then, there’s the other times. When everything is running smooth. The kids happy and healthy and well. Your husband, he happy, and you happy,
and he’s trying to progress. And, you know, I couldn’t think of anything that would make anybody happier. You know, have your health and everything. It would mean a lot.
That’s the way life is. Changes. God didn’t promise that every day would be fine. You have to put up with, you have to accept, the bad with the
good. People say, life is what you make out of it. No. Maybe to some people it is. But a lot of things in life you have to accept it as it comes.

It’s one of the benefits of living here: sometimes there’s just nobody
around to say you can’t do something.
We were all by ourselves at dusk along the river, just a few blocks from home. We’d walked as far as the path would go, and there we saw a place
where a field had flooded and frozen and I went out to investigate the ice: just a few inches thick, but wide and unscarred. I could smell memories: the inside of hockey gloves; inevitable hot chocolate. We came back the next day with our skates.
The boy is still too small for skating, so the poor thing had to settle for scuttling along in his boots, and those moments where I’d scoop him up
and charge across the ice, setting his feet down to glide while he cackled.
No one hassled us; we didn’t see another soul. We’ve gone to the public rink downtown several times, but with gangling teens learning to skate
by gripping the boards and swinging their blades face-level to a four-year-old, this trespass was markedly safer. It’s one of the benefits of living
here: sometimes there’s just nobody around to say you can’t do something.
After an hour or so, the girl could have kept going, but the boy had fangs of snot and a strong case of not fair. The virgin ice was scarred with all
our fun, and a thermos of hot chocolate waited by our boots.
