Detroit's Olympic Uprising

In 1963, Detroit was in a global competition to host the 1968 Olympics but a strong grassroots movement fighting for civil rights equality provided opposition to the effort.

The new documentary Detroit’s Olympic Uprising tells the story of this little-known bit of Detroit’s history.
