À propos de ce contenu audio

 People think they know the story of Detroit. But what other stories might we hear if the city and its water spoke for themselves? Tune in to the Detroit River Stories Podcast to find out. This podcast is just one small part of the University of Michigan’s Detroit River Story Lab, an interdisciplinary, grant-funded initiative that partners with regional organizations to reconnect communities with the river and its stories. Through collaborative research, education, and engagement projects, our partnerships amplify marginalized voices and foreground the role of the river and its shores as sites of connection, stewardship, and healing.

    • "A little hard to handle" : Sarah Elizabeth Ray and the Fight for Childhood and Play in Detroit

      "A little hard to handle" : Sarah Elizabeth Ray and the Fight for Childhood and Play in Detroit
      Oct 16 2024

      Send us a text

      In this episode, Bailey Flannery and Desiree Cooper discuss how Cooper's decision to "marry Detroit" (by way of marrying a Detroiter) has irrevocably shaped her as a creative and person. This includes her long journalistic career at Detroit Free Press, which led her to eventually interviewing and documenting the life and legacy of Sarah Elizabeth Ray (also known as Lizz Haskell), one of Detroit's long-forgotten Civil Rights leaders.

      This conversation covers:

      • Cooper and Ray's parallel journeys from the South to Detroit, and how Cooper fell in love with Detroit's "mystique" and "swagger."
      • The centrality of play and leisure to the civil rights movement, including Ray's own case, which was based on her forced removal from the Bob-Lo boat SS Columbia. (Spoiler: She took her case all the way to the US Supreme Court--and won.)
      • Ray's lesser-known second act, which centered on protecting childhood through Action House.
      • Futures currently realized and in jeopardy along the Detroit River.
      • Why the Detroit River is laughing at us, and why we should laugh with it.
