Please check out Rebecca Solnit’s, Detroit Arcadia: Exploring the post-American landscape. This article, originally published in the July 2007 issue of Harper’s Magazine, is a very significant study on how Detroit points the way for 21st century cities. Thanks to Rebecca and Harper’s for adding this piece to Unending Conversations of Hope.

The Boggs Center
The Boggs Center was founded in 1995 by friends and associates of James Boggs (1919 -1993) and Grace Lee Boggs (1915 - ) to honor and continue their legacy as movement activists and theoreticians.
Our aim is to help grassroots activists develop themselves into visionary leaders and critical thinkers who can devise proactive strategies for rebuilding and respiriting our cities and rural communities from the ground up, demonstrate the power of ideas in changing ourselves, our reality, and demystify leadership.
