And so i hope you consider the evening permit. Thank you. Thank you. Weve had a couple more callers join us. Speaker im in full support of prestige and their efforts and i own a business and several things in the community. Prestige opened its doors when we were having violence in the city and one of the only places to open the doors for us to meet. And this is an amazing establishment and the people who are amazing. The security is amazing. I heard the lady speak before me me. Ive been there and i know the security does their best to move people along so that theres parking and so do i respect her views . I have to humbly disagree with her. Im sure that she could speak with the owners of the establishment to come to a reasonable resolution where both parties are happy. Thank you for the support. My name is damion post. Thank you. Speaker good afternoon. Im a longtime resident of San Francisco is a member of local ten, iowu and we have had a few events there and this is a beautiful ven
And one more comment id like to make is that my son, who is a white male, was pulled over tonights ago by the police because he had a low beam out. So i think things have really changed in the past 50 years. My main question is how can you say you cant make it today based on something that happened to your family 150 years ago . Id like to hear an answer to that. So i mean for starters, this idea of 150 years ago, its true slavery ended 150 years ago. But the discrimination thats baked into our system continues even today.

Spaces mark where a thriving commercial district once stood. There are lingering questions and issues that led to the rioting. We are here with the Detroit Free Press. And we are joined by heather and thompson and detroit page editorial editor. We will be live for the next two hours taking your calls, tweets, and facebook posts. Can we start with definitions in the sense that the event is described as a riot. Would you describe it as such or is there a better way to define what happened . That term connotes chaos and it is suggested everyone showed up and destroyed city for no reason. It also suggests how we should understand what happened and the impact it had.

The economic discrimination, that frustration cannot be understood as chaotic and incoherent. It was a rebellion. The word i have come to over some time is uprising which captures what happened
