About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

The historical impact of Detroit has never been fully told as the Birth of the Middle Class, the Greatest Impetus to the Second Industrial Revolution, and the Arsenal of Democracy. This presentation will expose how Detroit’s “Miracle of Production” brought African-American S.T.E.M. preparedness that goes beyond Rosie the Riveter during the largest conflict in the history of the world.
