Protesting Police Violence and Mapping Detroit
•
Donna & Orlando
This week Authentically Detroit talks about police violence and the mapping of Detroit.
Anthropologist, Cartographer, and Information Designer Alex B. Hill joins Donna and Orlando to discuss the Detroit Voting Map as well as his book, Detroit in 50 Maps. They dive into gentrification and what goes into naming a neighborhood. In the spirit of the upcoming election, the trio dive into the Detroit Voting Map which shows who’s voting in what neighborhoods.
This week’s Hot Take involves Detroit police officers shooting a 20-year-old man having a mental health crisis 38 times. What happened and how can we better handle these situations as a community? Check out the episode to hear our perspective. To read the full article, click here.
