Answer 1

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau, blacks or African Americans living in Detroit accounted for 79.1% of the total population.

• Nearby suburbs also had high black populations, reflecting the history of settlement of African Americans here during the Great Migration of the early 20th century, when people were attracted to Detroit's industrial jobs:

• In 2002 the Michigan city with the highest percentage of black residents was Highland Park, where 93% of the population is black.

• In the days before the Civil War began, Detroit was an important site on the Underground Railroad, in which local people aided the passage of fugitive slaves to freedom.
• Its location just across the river from Canada, where slavery was abolished in 1834, made it a destination for many seeking freedom.
• Although Michigan was a free territory, some refugee slaves wanted to go over the border to Canada to prevent being captured by slavecatchers. Others settled in Detroit.
• Public housing became synonymous with "black" because they were placed in impoverished urban areas, and the implementation of housing projects faced opposition from white homeowners and public officials looking to please their constituents.
• The civil rights movement in the South affected minorities in northern and western states as well. In Detroit, activists pushed for more representation in local government, including the white-dominated police force, and for equal justice in housing and employment. At the same time, African Americans were proud of their progress in Detroit. In 1965 the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History was founded in the city.
• Migration of black families out of Detroit continued. By 2010 Southfield became 70% black.In 2010 9% of Macomb County's population was black, and the black population in Warren from 2000 to 2010 increased from 4,000 to 18,000. By 2011 black suburbanization had increased across the area, as blacks settled in more different localities. By 2011 black suburbanization had increased across the metro region, no longer limited to a few communities. From 2000 to 2010, Detroit had lost around 200,000 people, as many families continued to leave the ailing city.
