## Caption

City of Detroit General Services Department was awarded funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) to fund two initiatives pursuant to the development of a public space that commemorates and memorializes the history and legacy of Dr. Ossian Sweet and the influence of the events that unfolded in 1925. Dr. Ossian Sweet is not only a significant African American figure in Detroit’s history, his legacy extends across the Nation. The events of 1925 paved the way for equal opportunity in housing and the protection of civil liberties, regardless of race. The Educational Plaza adjacent to Dr. Sweet’s home will combine the area of the two (2) adjacent parcels: 2915 Garland and 2921 Garland. The total acreage of the new Educational Plaza will be approximately .2 acres.  General Services is working on the early stages of design for this project. There is still time to have your say!
