Authentically Detroit
Honoring Heroes from the Grassroots with Peter Blackmer, Lloyd Simpson and Antonio Cosme
This week Authentically Detroit welcomed Peter Blackmer, Lloyd Simpson, and Antonio Cosme of Voices from the Grassroot!
Donna and Orlando spoke with the trio about the upcoming project, which highlights longtime Black Detroiters and grassroots organizers perspectives on revitalizing the city. The project, started in 2018, seeks to reckon with the lack of representation that leads to a distorted narrative of Detroit’s history along with the voices and vision of its people. Their launch event, commemorating the 10 year anniversary of emergency management’s imposition of democracy in Detroit, takes place Thursday, October 26th from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at Wayne State University.
