Disappearing cities of Metro Detroit: Warren, Michigan

It all started here.

Economic Policy Institute, 8/22/2012
Circumstances in the Detroit suburb of Warren were similar. It was home to five automobile manufacturing plants with a 30 percent black workforce. Warren also had a white-collar General Motors Technical Center; it, too, had many black employees.46 Yet while whites who worked in Warren could live in the city, black workers had to commute because none could live there.47 Realtors would not show homes to African-Americans in Warren, and landlords would not rent to them. Then, in 1967, Corado Bailey, an African-American man (with his white wife) moved into Warren. 
For several nights, crowds of up to 200 gathered outside the Bailey home

Incorporated as a village in 1893 and as a city in 1957, Warren is located in the southwestern corner of Macomb County and borders Detroit to its south.
