The Segregation Wall That Still Stands In Detroit

The Segregation Wall That Still Stands In Detroit 80 years ago, a wall was built to separate blacks from whites on the north side of Detroit. While it s original purpose has faded, the wall still stands as a reminder of what once was a severe racial division in the Motor City. The wall went by many names, the Birwood Wall, the Wailing Wall and the Eight Mile Wall. It went up in 1941 when a plot of land west of Birwood Street along Detroit s fabled northern border of 8-Mile Road was being developed. The neighborhood just to the east had long been a settling point for people of The Great Migration, a movement of Black people from the rural south to the industrial north to work factory jobs, which were plentiful.
