<span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">In 1941, a real estate developer in northwest Detroit faced a dilemma. He needed federal financing for white clients purchasing lots in a new subdivision abutting a community of primarily African Americans. When
the banks deemed the development too risky because of potential racial tension, the developer proposed a novel solution. He built a six-foot-tall, one-foot-thick concrete barrier extending from Eight Mile Road south for three city blocks – the infamous Birwood
Wall. It changed life in West Eight Mile forever. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
