Every time I see the People Mover I think about how the white suburbs of Detroit refused to work with the black inner city to develop a metropolitan public transportation system in the 1980s! In my eyes the People Mover is a monument to traditional and systemic Northern racism and segregation. The South may have used laws. The North used systemic attitudes and segregated villages, towns and even cities which have never been repealed and have not changed. If you are interested in doing more research there is a book called "The Other Side of the River" by Alex Kotlowitz" that describes this issue in St Joseph and Benton Harbor. It could be about any two Northern racially segregated towns.John D.
