Clip: Season 6 Episode 40 | 4m 53sVideo has Closed Captions | CC

The Detroit Public Theatre performs “Detroit ‘67” based on the 1967 Detroit riots.

As the Detroit 1967 riots began, a revelation was brewing in the city, and what rose from the ashes of the rebellion has ultimately shaped the city and how it functions today. In Dominique Morisseau‘s production of “Detroit ’67,” the questions of race and social justice that took center stage during the riots turn inward to see how they intertwined with the lives of one Black family.
