From Hooves to Horsepower: The Birth of Modern Detroit

Jack Lessenberry, radio commentator at WUOM-FM, columnist with Metro Times, and journalism professor at Wayne State University, describes an era in which Detroit became a modern industrial city with an increasingly complex society – even before Ford started tinkering with the automobile. This presentation is part of a series of programs, The Gilded Age to the Great War: America at the Turn of the Century, at the Lorenzo Cultural Center on Macomb Community College’s Center Campus.
