Dare To Struggle Dare To Win

Detroit continued to burn long after the fires of the ’67 rebellion were extinguished. Black Detroiters continued to the suffer the effects of economic disenfranchisement and fought to survive under the oppressive thumb of racist policing practices disguised as law enforcement, the most egregious of which was the Detroit Police Department’s S.T.R.E.S.S. Stop The Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets was a brutal decoy unit that was ultimately responsible for the execution of 22 Black citizens. Ken Cockrel, a radical Marxist attorney, led a group of activists and community leaders to abolish the unit and restore justice. This is the story of a heroic struggle in a city that was far too willing to discard the Constitution and trample the rights of its Black citizens.
