As the Detroit report notes, it “calls for just compensation to Detroiters, not only for the horrendous harms of enslavement of our ancestors, but also for the harms of segregation, discrimination and repression that have continued unabated throughout our history in this City.”
(Does that remind you of Kansas City’s history? It should.)

Are there any ideas to borrow from the Motor City?
