Jesse Jackson, Capping I‑75, Cleaning Up Detroit, and Community
FEB 18, 202619 MIN
Description
Today's Daily Detroit is about being real with each other and with this city we love. Norris and I start with the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, what he meant to Detroit, and how his generation of civil rights leaders helped shape our city and our lives. From there, we look ahead to the next public meeting on the possible I‑75 cap near downtown, why it matters for how Detroit connects across freeways, and who stands to be impacted if it moves forward. We also dig into a listener email on Business Improvement Zones and what cleaner, better‑maintained streets could mean for the East Riverfront and beyond. We end on a more personal note, talking about losing a couple of listeners this week and why this community means so much to us Feedback as always, dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or leave a voicemail, 313-789-3211.
