Bursting with larger than life figures from Henry Ford II, Walter Reuther, and Mayor Jerome Cavanagh, to Berry Gordy, Martin Luther King, and the Reverend C.O. Franklin, Aretha’s father, this book is at once the chronicle of a city during its last fine time and also a classic American story of promise and loss.” Lunch will be provided and signed copies of Once in a great City will be available for purchase at the event (cash ro credit card).
