Today I learned about something called the Sojourner Truth project (Detroit) and the White riots connected with it in 1942.
At this time, an estimated 5,000 *families (not individuals) were moving into Detroit every month, and there was simply not enough housing, adequate or otherwise. People were sleeping in railroad boxcars.
