Detroit still has some of the nicest and most interesting architecture in North America.

The history of race relations is interesting in Detroit, particularly how many African Americans from the south moved to Detroit during WW2 to take the jobs that were vacated by soldiers who enlisted. Of course, those soldiers came back and were pissed that they had no jobs, which fueled much of the racial tension through the 1950s and 60s. That racial tension persuaded the wealthy white people to leave Detroit in the 1970s, and the rest is history.

As the Redditt story points out though, many more African Americans tried to enlist but were not accepted (although the reasons why were not clear, I have no doubt that racism was one of them).
