Artist Note:
This piece speaks on a time when cities like Detroit, Flint, and Pontiac were thriving for Black individuals working in automotive plants like General Motors. These jobs created opportunities for Black families to enter the middle class, build successful lives, and provide for future generations. Community was strong and deeply rooted, creating neighborhoods where families could grow, connect, and support one another.
