Quoting Wikipedia: "Detroit remains one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States."
This is about today, not about the 1950s. The rebirth of Detroit depends in part on the racial conditions that led to today, and the racial conditions we have today.
"De facto educational segregation in Detroit (and by extension elsewhere) was legally permitted by the U.S. Supreme Court in Milliken v. Bradley, 418 U.S. 717 (1974).[42]"
How do you expect skills and education to have nothing to do with race when Detroit's education system is bounded and defined by race?
