DESCRIPTION:Once the fifth largest city in the U.S., the manufacturing center of the 
 country with a population of nearly 2 million, Detroit now has 700,000 
 people and vast tracts of uninhabited space. The crisis in the real economy 
 that has been devastating Detroit for decades, has spread to the whole 
 country in today's Great Recession, really a depression in 
 employment.\n\nThe U.S. Social Forum was held in Detroit in 2010 because it 
 is the epicenter of the current economic crisis with an official 
 unemployment rate of nearly 30 percent. What can the history of Detroit, 
 especially the revolutionary ideas and actions of its workers that in many 
 commentaries have disappeared with its barren landscape teach today's 
 anti-capitalist movement?\n\nSharat G. Lin and Ron Kelch, who both 
 participated in the 2010 U.S. Social Forum, will present a photo essay, a 
 commentary and a discussion of Detroit and its implications for the 
 U.S.\n\nSuggested donation: $5 - $10  (no one turned away)\nWheelchair 
 accessible\n\nSponsored by the Institute for the Critical Study of Society, 
 International Discussion Group, and Niebyl Proctor Marxist Library\n\n
