Birwood Wall

The Birwood wall served as a symbol of racism when it was built eight decades ago, and it still exists today. Bridge Detroit teamed up with NBC news to dive into the history of the wall that segregated a Detroit neighborhood and to talk with the people who lived near it. One Detroit’s senior producer Bill Kubota gives us a closer look at the legacy of the Birwood wall. Episode 4942/Segment 2
