A little known fact of my life is I grew up, through junior high, in Wayne, Michigan, and Wayne is the country seat for Wayne County, which is where Detroit and Dearborn are located.
My dad move my family to Michigan in 1951 to find work, when I was 3. My brother was born in Wayne in 1952, and my sister in 1961. In 1962, my dad decided to return our family to Kentucky when he got an opportunity to return to work, with full seniority with the C&O railroad, from which he had been laid off in 1950.
One of the motivating factors that allowed him to make the decision to pull up roots in michigan and risk returning to Kentucky where the railroad business was so closely tied to an up and down coal industry was his complete disgust with the muslims that were dominating and moving into the entire Detroit area, buy primarily into Dearborn. I remember one day he came home from work has mad as I ever saw my dad, ever. A muslim who worked with him at a steel fabricating factory in the edge of Detroit, technically in Dearborn, complained that if "all the ******s and hillbillies would go back where they came from there would be plenty of job for us"
I will never forget how angry my dad was over that insulting remark. Within 2 years, we were in Russell, Kentucky.
rr, Thanks for sharing this article. However, it immediately brought these very ugly feelings to the surface after all these years.
