Seriously, everywhere I went I was surrounded by beautiful black faces. I’m told that Detroit has a 85% black population. I really want to address the gentrification happening in the ‘hoods’ of Detroit. As I stated, The Charles H Wright Museum is a must-see in Detroit. No amount of time heals that especially with no reparations. They would torture blacks to the point of near death, but would try their best to never allow them to die, since they would be paid per live person. I cannot fathom how it was possible to be so cruel to other human beings to stuff Africans in ships for weeks with very little to eat, deplorable living conditions, and women being raped by the ship crew. It feels as though I`m reading or learning about it for the very first time. I don`t know if many people can relate but when I read about the injustices done to blacks at the hands of white colonizers, I get angry all over again. After that, you went through the museum and saw the history of blacks from Africa and their journey to America. The second highlighted black clothing designers. The first was on black hair and how hairstyles have evolved throughout history. We weren’t allowed to take pictures inside, however if you are ever in the Detroit area, I strongly recommend you check out this museum. Something that I`ve never done before is I brought my mommy! She`s retired and serves as the resident neighbourhood watch where she lives (Read as: She knows everything happening on the street!) I wanted to get her out the house, so I bribed her with a promise to bring her to her favourite store Burlington Coat Factory, and we were on our way. One highway takes you straight there, so there were zero chances of me getting lost. You better believe though, Detroit is back on the come up!ĭetroit is an approximate 4 hour drive from Toronto. A city filing for bankruptcy? By seeing it with my own eyes, I could see the effects that the bankruptcy had on the economy. This is around the time that they filed for bankruptcy. I mean I could walk blocks and not see one person. The last time I was there was about 5 years ago for a wedding, and it was a ghost town. I wanted to stay local as much as possible, so I decided to take a little road trip to Detroit Michigan. I tend to prefer for it to be freezing at home, when I travel somewhere hot so I can show off on all my friends…ooops sorry I meant to say I like to provide my readers with a view of vacation spots that they can potentially get away themselves….wink wink!

It doesn’t make much sense to me to travel somewhere hot, when it’s already hot at home.

This summer I have totally been quiet with my travel.
