From Ty Cobb to Hank Greenberg to the Bad Boys, from Joe Louis and Gordie Howe to the Malice at the Palace, the book City of Champions explores the history of Detroit through the stories of its most gifted athletes. Linking iconic events in the history of Motown sports to the city's shifting fortunes, it explores questions of race, labor, industry and urban planning. We will be talking on Zoom with the authors of the book, University of Michigan Professors Stefan Szymanski and Silke-Maria Weineck.
