On this day in 1925:Ossian Sweet, a black physician, moves into his 2905 Garland Street home—an all-white neighborhood. Race-related violence takes place the following day as a group of hostile whites gather at Sweet's home. A white man is fatally shot. pic.twitter.com/I36ZvNSPhK — Ken Coleman (@HistoryLivesDet) September 8, 2018 from http://twitter.com/HistoryLivesDet

One of the best descriptions of #ArethaFranklin was in 1985 when Michigan Gov. Jim Blanchard declared that her voice was a "natural resource." Rest in peace, Queen of Soul. pic.twitter.com/43sszJqKpC — Ken Coleman (@HistoryLivesDet) August 16, 2018 from http://twitter.com/HistoryLivesDet

.@Detroitk12 students like my son Jackson shouldn’t have to be college age to learn about history of his community. They should be learning it now. @Dr_Vitti’s Detroit History Taskforce can play an important part in that endeavor.https://t.co/rAPWs4PMhY — Ken Coleman (@HistoryLivesDet) August 7, 2018 from http://twitter.com/HistoryLivesDet
