Limited VolunteerOUR MISSION
New Detroit was formed in response to civil unrest in 1967 that uncovered a host of entrenched social and community ills. At the request of then Michigan Governor George Romney and Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh, business executive Joseph L. Hudson, Jr. convened a unique coalition-the nation’s first-to identify what went wrong in July 1967, what needed to change, and how to make that change happen.
