On Saturday afternoon, Rosey White spoke into a megaphone, reliving the trauma of when officials illegally evicted her in 2016. The eviction started a chain reaction of obstacles for her.
It was the first time she ever became homeless, and she wasn t alone in her struggles.
White was one out of the handful of speakerswho gathered outside of Detroit Police Department s Public Safety Headquarters to protest illegal and police-aided evictions on Saturday. The group of over 80 people also marched across downtown Detroit.
White said she was evicted late on a dark evening evening in December 2016 and she lost everything. With nowhere else to go, she had to stay in a homeless shelter. The eviction forced White to rebuild her life step-by-step.
