Detroit: Protest against planned school closings in Michigan Black communities, February 17, 2017.

“These photographs were taken outside the state office building at Cadillac Place in the Detroit New Center area on Fri. Feb. 17, 2017 at a demonstration against the proposals to close over 40 schools in African American communities across Michigan. Many of the schools slated for closure are in Detroit, the largest municipality in Michigan. A coalition of organizations came together to host the rally. Future actions are planned to halt the further decimation of the public schools which have been subjected to state control, charterization and emergency management for most of the last 18 years.”
