Reading the thread about Dearborn's Arab population growth brought up this question.
Didn't Highland Park have a growing Arab population in the 70's? I'm going on memory here, but if it's true, why did it stop growing, and where did it go, Dearborn?
And as a second note, my father was Dean of Students at the Detroit Institute Of Technology [[after he left Chrysler) when DIT closed, and he told me one of the reasons for its failure was the widthdrawl of Iranian students after the '79 revolution. Were a lot of these students the base of the Arab influx?
