    AS far as good and bad books about the D I heard that "Devil's Night" was Very Prejudicial and Not helpful at all. Ironic that the racist greedhead real estate agents who would bar their OWN door-or more likely make their neighbors bar Theirs against Minorities-catalyzed the Transition. Famous Line from the time...Boy asks his Dad "how long before they reach Gross Pointe?" During the Height of the Riots.

    "'bout Thirty Years, Son." Accurate

    Yes, Islandview, Kettering and Houston Whittier I would think underwent racial transition around the time Black Bottom and Hastings were destroyed. There Was some looting and a little burning on the Avenue of Fashion Section of Livernois near University of Detroit.

    I'm not sure what area you are referring to as Houston Whittier. If you mean any of the neighborhoods along the street Houston Whittier racial transition didn't begin to occur until the mid-1970's or late-1970's. The neighborhoods north of Houston Whittier were still over 80% White in the early 1980's. Lots of Germans and Italians still there, but about to get out as the decade continued.
