Black Detroit: A People's History of Self-Determination by Herb Boyd
4.0
Interesting person and subject oriented in chronological order. As a Michigan native, I was somewhat familiar with some of the individuals and their stories; others were new to me. Easy to listen to.
Narrator James Shippy has a deep voice that is not difficult to understand once I became accustomed to his voice and excep when he occasionally drops his voice and "swallows" the last word or two of a sentence. He pronounces some words and names differently than this Michigan native is accustomed to, specifically Walter Reuther, Alan Trammel and Joseph Campau. Not sure how that got past the editors and makes me wonder whether Mr. Boyd was involved in the production of the audio book.
