I WAS HERE | Gentrification in Detroit - Poem | OTF Back to Black Cabaret
We all love nice things, but do you remember the old Detroit? "We remember when downtown was dark... the people also..."
...nuff said, fam.
What does it mean to remember? ... to hold the past in your hands and watch it dissipate before your eyes. For some, as much as we love Detroit, we know the cost of those fancy coffee's, as Joel Fluent Greene shares from our 4th Annual Obsidian Theatre Festival opening night cabaret on Thursday, June 27, 2024 at the Gem Theatre.
Watch, listen, and share what you remember about the Detroit that was in the comments!
