"Dreams of Black, White and Green: Putting More Soul into the Spirit of
Detroit" by Dr. Mike Whitty, University of Detroit Mercy
Our own Dr. Detroit, aka Mike Whitty, presents an inspiring and hopeful vision
of sustainable Detroit 2030 and beyond. Professor Whitty is currently involved
in a community building project on the Woodward Corridor in the north end of
Detroit. He
hopes to extend the Sierra Club's Green Cruise from Ferndale to
Palmer Park in Detroit by 2009. Whitty envisions a stronger link between the
greening of Detroit, rapid transit along the Woodward Corridor, and post-racial
unity between Detroit and its near suburbs. Join a discussion circle sharing our
visions of the possible future for Detroit. Could we cross-network our causes
and projects to create more collaboration in community building? Share your
story and share your hopes in the belief that we are all Detroiters at heart.
Professor Whitty is the former Director of the Institute for Building
Sustainable Communities at U of D Mercy where he has taught for 40 years in the
College of Business Administration.
