DETROIT RISING: How the Motor City Becomes a Restorative City
There’s the Detroit story you know and the one you don’t. For decades, the predominant story we’ve heard about Detroit is one of violence, crime, unemployment, and urban blight. But there’s more than meets the Eight-Mile.

Join Kerra as she explores the impact of restorative practices in Detroit’s classrooms, courts, and executive boardrooms and views Detroit through the lens of a man whose family tragedy led to his vision of Detroit as a restorative city.
