why is life in black detroit so different than life? and why detroit? at least that's why i'm reading it here. they said, oh no, it's always been that way. and and i hear there are black churches and we've never been or been visited. well, i don't know one honest answer. i got soul. if you keep asking these of questions, you're going to get into a lot of trouble. that's proved to be true. so i tell my students at georgetown i told, trust your questions and let them take you wherever. they lead you. and for me, my questions took me to the city, what we call the inner city in those days. and just a few blocks or miles from where white people live. and i showed up. i got jobs in where young black men were working like me. i was working for money for college. they were supporting their families. and i met these young men whose life stories were so different than mine. so their and their life stories being proximate to them begin to change my life story. and i had these to use a religious word, epiphany, revelations and realization and one night my one of my
