It all started here.
Detroit is a city of 1.5 million people, 40 to 50 per cent black. The five Grosse Pointe suburbs are on the eastern edge, older and upper‐middle class suburbs with a history of excluding, blacks. Swinging west are the working‐class suburbs —Harper Woods, East Detroit, Warren and Hazel Park. A bit to the north are the upper‐middle‐class suburbs of Bloomfield Hills and Bir mingham, and to the west Southfield. Farther west there is more blue‐collar and territory— Livonia and the city of Dear born, with 100,000 population.
Warren and Dearborn are automotive factory, centers where thousands of Negroes work but do not, live. In the other suburbs there area hand ful of blacks.
A fast retreat by the Govern ment shows how touchy the desegregation issue is.
