HTLAN: Detroit Dexter Avenue to Linwood

Dexter–Linwood tells the story of how neighborhoods are shaped by leadership, investment, and long-term decisions. Once a thriving commercial district and the center of Detroit's Jewish community, it later became home to thousands of Black families who faced barriers to capital, disinvestment, and the lasting impacts of the 1967 uprising. Today, the neighborhood is seeing new housing, business investment, and community redevelopment. But the real question remains: Who benefits from revitalization? As explored in the recent book, How to Lose a Neighborhood, lasting neighborhood success depends on investing in both places and the people who already call them home.
