Detroit Means Business (c. 1982)
2015.008.097
U-Matic tape containing the c. 1982 version of the promotional film Detroit Means Business, produced by the Urban Communications Group for the Detroit Department of Public Information and the Community and Economic Development Department.
The film begins with a brief introduction that lists the city's automotive industry along side its lesser known industries including the manufacture of business machines, paints, Stroh's, potato chips, and industrial and commercial films. It also lists major corporations and banks present in the city, and highlights the convention and tourism industries.
The film then focuses on the recently constructed Renaissance Center, as an investment in the city's future headed by Henry Ford II. The adjacent Hart Plaza is also shown, representing downtown development. The narrator describes the 1980 Republican National Convention as being a success of the Renaissance Center. The film also mentions Phase 2 in the Renaissance Center's development--the addition of Towers 500 and 600.
Next, Mayor Coleman A. Young is shown discussing his efforts to create a coalition of government, business, and labor--Detroit Renaissance--to assure the city's prosperity. Max M. Fisher then is shown talking about the origins of Detroit Renaissance, and his role as the first chairman.
Using animated graphics, the film then describes the relationships between the Economic Growth Corporation, the Downtown Development Authority, and the Economic Development Corporation.
Several developments facilitated by these partnerships are then covered. Ronald Ratner of Forest City Dillon is filmed talking about his company's Trolley Plaza. The same company's plans for the Millender Center are also detailed by the narrator. Esther Edwards of the Americal Development Corporation talks about her company's work on Trapper's Alley. The film also features maps showing the Riverfront West Project--Max Fisher and Alfred Taubman's plan for hotel and marina (Riverfront Apartments)--and the Riverfront East Project--a Stroh's complex (River Place). The narrator also briefly mentions a plan for parks between the sites.
Other developments around the city are also highlighted. The narrator mentions an elevated urban transport system in downtown (the People Mover). New Center One, and General Motors' New Center Commons housing development are also mentioned.
Moving from the topic of housing to that of jobs, the film then focuses on the Central Industrial Park project--General Motors' new General Motors Assembly Division plant in Poletown. The film mentions the issue of land acquisition for the project. GM chairman Roger Smith appears to discuss working with the city to realize the project. John Adams of Adams Industries, a light aircraft manufacturing firm, is also interviewed. He talks about working with city government during while relocating his business to Detroit.
The next segment of the film highlights other details that might woo business to the city including income levels, other industries, the city's role as a transportation hub, dependable energy, fresh water, and the pool of skilled workers. Doug Fraser of the United Auto Workers is interviewed about the city's work force. He discusses productivity, and the positive relationships between workers and management. The film then briefly touches upon universities, colleges, and technical schools in the area, as well as the existence of high tech industries like robotics, and the presence of the Detroit Medical Center.
In a closing montage, the film touches on neighborhoods, home ownership, arts, recreation, sports, music, dining in the city.
The video is on a 30 minute Sony U-Matic tape with a handwritten Producers Color Service, Incorporated, Video Communications Division label on its top. The video is housed within a black plastic latching case with a matching label on its cover, and a City of Detroit Department of Public Information Video Production label on its spine.

1989 Duckie 500 and Coleman Young Campaign Speeches at Churches
2015.008.138
U-Matic tape containing footage from the April 5, 1989 press event held at the Fox Theatre held to announce the events of that year's International Freedom Festival, followed by footage of Mayor Coleman A. Young making campaign speeches at Renaissance Baptist Church and St. James Missionary Baptist Church on October 29, 1989.
The video opens with Mayor Coleman A. Young, Mike Ilitch, and another man speaking in the lobby of the Fox Theatre as jazz plays, before cutting to a title card. A brief pause in the tape during this opening suggests that it is a duplicate. The camera then captures shots of the two remoted controlled cars on the track for the First Annual Duckie 500, a remote controlled car race between Detroit mayor Coleman A. Young, and Windsor mayor John Millson. The members of the William Paterson New Jazz Ensemble introduce themselves, and then are shown performing. All members wear red Southern Comfort sweatshirts. As the band continues to perform, the camera captures several shots of statues and other elements the lobby's architecture, and of a banner for the Wheels of Freedom Antique Auto Show and Parade, scheduled for June 24th.
Next the camera rolls as a procession of Freedom Festival officials, including Mayors Young and Millson, file past a group of kilted bagpipers from the Windsor Police Department, and a U.S. Navy Color guard down the lobby's steps. Windsor, Ontario Mayor John Millson wears his racing jumpsuit, (presented in video 2015.008.135) while Coleman A. Young instead wears a suit.
At the podium master of ceremonies Jac LeGoff introduces Damon Taylor, who sings O Canada, and The Star-Spangled Banner. During the national anthems, the camera turns to Young. LeGoff discusses the rubber duckie race tradition, then recognizes International Freedom Festival president Margaret Williams and the Windsor Executive Committee and the Detroit Executive Committee. He then calls Mike Ilitch to the podium.
Ilitch talks about his involvement in the Freedom Festival, and begins listing the planned events--the Budweiser Spirit of Detroit Trophy Race, the Freedom Festival 10-Mile Run, the Wheels of Freedom auto show, the George E. Van Memorial Regatta, a Michigan-produced film festival, the Tug Across the River, Cinema Canada at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Children's Day in the Cultural Center, Fort Night at Fort Wayne, McDonald's Gospel Fest in Hart Plaza, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's first performance in Hart Plaza, a visit from the U.S. Navy's U.S.S. BOULDER, Project Unite Helping Hands--a 24 mile human chain on Woodward Avenue to recognize volunteers, and the Hudson's Freedom Festival Fireworks.
LeGoff then introduces Margaret Williams to discuss Canadian events. This include the docking of the H.M.C.S. CORMORANT; concerts by Glass Tiger, the Canadian Brass, and Alexander Zonjic; an animated dinosaur display; Children's Day; the Canada Day parade; midway rides; Voyager's Village; the Rum Runner's Ball; the Canadian Air Force's Snowbirds; a hot air balloon race; and an international tennis tournament. She invokes the Two Nation Vacation slogan, and announces winner of the Paul Lutzier Award--Rod Beaton who revived the tugboat race.
John Millson then addresses the crowd. He thanks Ilitch for his jumpsuit and jokes about Young not wearing his.
Next, Coleman A. Young, honorary chairman of the Freedom Festival mentions the recent Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement, and partnerships between the cities like the joint port authority. The recording ends during Young's address.
Following a very brief clip of Jeffrey Pool, Vice President of Trappers Alley Limited Partnership, speaking in a press conference, the next segment on the tape begins with Mayor Coleman A. Young, and David Eberhard seated behind the pulpit of Renaissance Baptist Church, as filmed from the balcony. A minister introduces Young, who then takes the podium. The room's acoustics make parts of his speech difficult to discern. The recording cuts several times during his address.
Then, from the balcony of St. James Missionary Baptist Church, the camera rolls as the congregation sings. Young is seated near the pulpit here as well. The minister introduces the mayor, and the camera pans around to show the audience applauding. In his speech, he mentions having previously visited several other churches. Young talks about the importance of the city's churches, mentions the late Rev. Charles H. Nicks, Jr. of St. James, talks about rebuilding Black Bottom, and 12th Street. He also discusses his relations with City Council members Nicholas Hood, David Eberhard, and Barbara Rose Collins.
The video is on a 3M UCA-60 U-Matic tape with a handwritten City of Detroit Department of Public Information label on its top. The tape is housed within a black plastic latching U-Matic case with a matching label on its cover.

SUMMARY
=======
Modern architecture, or modernist architecture was based upon new and innovative technologies of construction, particularly the use of glass, steel and reinforced concrete; the idea that form should follow function (→functionalism); an embrace of minimalism; and a rejection of ornament.
It emerged in the first half of the 20th century and became dominant after World War II until the 1980s, when it was gradually replaced as the
principal style for institutional and corporate buildings by postmodern architecture.
ch 15) Self Help In Hard Times
chapter 15: A People's History (Of The United States) Howard Zinn.
~
Chapter 15, Self-Help in Hard Times covers the government's campaign to destroy the IWW, and the factors leading to the Great Depression. Zinn states that, despite popular belief, the 1920s were not a time of prosperity, and the problems of the Depression were simply the chronic problems of the poor extended to the rest of the society. Also covered is the Communist Party's attempts to help the poor during the Depression.

SUMMARY
=======
Irish Americans (Irish: Gael-Mheiriceánaigh) are an ethnic group comprising Americans who have full or partial ancestry from Ireland, especially those who identify with that ancestry, along with their cultural characteristics. About 33 million Americans — 10.5% of the total population — reported Irish ancestry in the 2013 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. This compares with a population of 6.7 million on the island of Ireland. Three million people separately identified as Scotch-Irish, whose ancestors were Ulster Scots and Anglo-Irish Protestant Dissenters who emigrated from Ireland to the United States. However, whether the Scotch-Irish should be considered Irish is disputed.

SUMMARY
=======
Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian Jewish novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work, which fuses elements of realism and the fantastic, typically features isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers, and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis), Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle). The term Kafkaesque has entered the English language to describe situations like those in his writing.Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today the capital of the Czech Republic. He trained as a lawyer, and after completing his legal education he was employed by an insurance company, forcing him to relegate writing to his spare time. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote hundreds of letters to family and close friends, including his father, with whom he had a strained and formal relationship. He became engaged to several women but never married. He died in 1924 at the age of 40 from tuberculosis.
Few of Kafka's works were published during his lifetime: the story collections Betrachtung (Contemplation) and Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor), and individual stories (such as Die Verwandlung) were published in literary magazines but received little public attention. Kafka's unfinished works, including his novels Der Process, Das Schloss and Der Verschollene (translated as both Amerika and The Man Who Disappeared), were ordered by Kafka to be destroyed by his friend Max Brod, who nonetheless ignored his friend's direction and published them after Kafka's death. His work went on to influence a vast range of writers, critics, artists, and philosophers during the 20th century.
