A segregation wall has stood in Detroit for 80 years. We found out who built it.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel a solemn feeling came over me.

We made the road long. Life is easy, we make it hard.

That was a great piece. I wonder if this is the same 8-mile Eminem referenced in his early songs and the movie?

I have to find a virtual map of Chicago that shows the same racial and ethnic divide over time. It's an amazing thing.
