It was the French that instituted slavery here in Detroit Michigan, American slavery was not operated by American Slaveholders.

it’s more important to honor and name the slaves than it is to hold the owners accountable for their abuse of power

I grew up in Detroit, we never owned any slaves, neither did my parents , grand parents, or great grand parents

I need my money from Detroit my family has been slaves for 100s of years even sharing the same last name mentioned in this video. Tell these ladies to contact me, I need my case sent to the Supreme Court now!

Gee, this episode makes me want to buy a hat! New location? I'll need to visit it if I'm in town.

I'm just discovering your channel ... and I'm already loving it !!

Way cool.. what about working with artists? Awesome stuff.

I worked with John Grover in engineering in the early 80's

Idiots worships Satan. And dummies going. No wonder Detroit is just trash nasty

When I was married,in the 70's I had an elderly neighbor,who told me,all of the area around us use to be Farm Land...HE was 98 and white

Fantastic! I needed to know this.

I'm confused. As a native Detroiter, I expected some focus on Detroit music. Very small mention of Motown, no Jackie Wilson. What about Detroit's many Jazz musicians. I'm sure there's great Detroit records & memorabilia. Why not show some of it? What about the many Detroit Rhythm & Blues singers & groups? Better have George Clinton / Funkadelic on something.

Big thanks to those who saved this building.

This station was hardcore it had something 4 everyone!

Ford didn't invent the automobile, but he was one of the first to come up with the moving assembly line. He based it partly on slaughterhouses, which are moving DISassembly lines.

Hi, & thank you for sharing

Just went there yesterday. Great place, friendly staff. They are now on Riopelle in Eastern Market, pretty cool location with lots of shops and restaurants around.

Never heard of this thing until yesterday... I' was born in Detroit... I'm 53

Make more videos please

Elizabeth Denison Forth donated money to build a small Episcopal chapel back then which is my church in Grosse Ile. I was baptized in that chapel, married in that chapel... Same with my sister. Her picture hangs in the dining room of the small chapel still today. ❤️

Would like to hear more stories about interactions with the big time wrestlers

When it was time to move to Highland Park, my grandfather worked for the man in charge of identifying the machinery here at Piquette and placing it at Highland Park, Mr. Edward Gray, who Ford hired to be his Chief Engineer and Construction Engineer. Working with Albert Kahn, Gray added many new features at Highland Park, including some of the first air conditioning systems in a plant. Gray was the designer of all of the Power Plant engines at Highland Park, starting with the first 1500 hp engine built at Riverside Engine Company in Oil City where my grandfather started working for Mr. Gray as his 'draughtsman' in 1906, then moving to Highland Park around 1909-1910 to continue as his draftsman. The later engines were built in Hamilton, Ohio as Gray cut his ties to Riverside Engine and that plant would not have been able to build them anyway. Amazing times, indeed!

Love Detroit's theaters!

This should be a requirement for every (Michigan) student, and their parents.

Greatly done video, almost is like a professional documentary. Though you guys address in there the problem with Detroit's newspapers. For that I say, don't just look and rely off of Detroit's own papers. MANY articles that were in Detroit were also shared all over the united states, and perhaps even into Canada. A Subscription to Newspapers .com would probably help you guys out.

My family came to the Detroit Area around 1860?, by way of the Underground Railroad, by way of Ft. Erie, Ontario. My family were church members of St.Matthews church. My grandfather was a Undertaker in the 1900’s, for a time. They lived on Beal street, and latter Farnsworth. A Great Aunt was Azalea E. Hackley, a renowned singer at the time. I grew up in the Conan Gardens area beginning in the 1950’s. Boston & Tomlinson are my family names. I live in Atlanta now, if you find any info concerning them please contact me. I miss Detroit, so much history, so many great people. A. Sellers

The date of the game Ernie is scoring and broadcasting at 1:43 is Tuesday, August 8, 1967, when the Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox in 10 innings at Tiger Stadium, 2-1. www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET196708081.shtml

I've been going to Henry The Hatter for the past 25 years or so. I have a nice little collection & I wish I had a son to pass all my hats down to. I don't think my only daughter would have a need for them. 😥😢😭

I live in LA but grew up in Detroit. I went to see this museum last year while visiting my family. Tom was my tour guide and he's got so much knowledge about Ford and the factory. Thanks for the great tour Tom ! I miss many things about Detroit, I wish this museum was open when I lived there. It's a must see. Be sure to go if you love automotive history.

I’ve been there and it’s definitely worth going to see

I am researching Detroit both because my family immigrated there at the turn of the last century and I want to know more about how life was like for them, and because I'm planning to write a novel based on their experiences and the time period. I just found your channel, and although many of the videos are a few years old, they are still invaluable to me. Thank you so much for compiling all of these stories.

Awesome History! Dr. Banks Should Have a Statue In Detroit!

Thank you for sharing this. Always thought that the stories Ernie Harwell told about baseball and players in the pre-game announcements, was a highlight that I didn't want to miss. Stories like being sent to interview Ty Cobb, first announcer to be included as part of a trade, and countless but interesting stories that made 'the game' something more than just two teams competing. Hopefully there are recordings saved for baseball and Harwell fans to relish the memories.

This was such a great video. So much that I didn’t know about that area! The way this family held on to things is pretty impressive.

here cuh my funky ass teacher but interesting!!!!!!!!!

Goblins in Detroit? That is weird af but ok.

you ladies did a great job. I learned a lesson about the struggles of old Detroit and my respect and love goes to all of you for the hard work researching and the pain that all of the people went through just to be able to see what freedom felt like back then. As for me I listen to John Lennon's song "Imagine " and I only see love of one another. Humanity makes its own history...we should all value each other as equal. peace and love to you all with blessings.

they were enslaving the dark skin and brown american indians and calling them negro!!!

Any place to find recordings of Buckley?

I recently completed a review of the history of the Model T as a flex fuel (multi-fuel) vehicle. Read the entire report at: YES, TIN LIZZIE WAS AN ALCOHOLIC www.theautochannel.com/news/2019/04/20/660939-yes-tin-lizzie-was-alcoholic.html.

Slavery still exists.it is under a modern day Umbrella.
