What many of us learned about the Underground Railroad is only part of the story.

In the final Second Baptist Church chapter of Melia’s Moving People, Melia Howard and Lauren Stovall join DURS President and church archivist Priscilla Robinson as she challenges familiar assumptions. Priscilla explains why she uses the term “freedom seekers” and why Canada was not the only destination for people pursuing freedom.

Her perspective keeps the humanity and agency of freedom seekers at the center of the history. 💜

Grand Circus Park Station lands you between some of downtown’s busiest sports and entertainment blocks. 👣

Ford Field and Comerica Park are both within walking distance, while nearby theaters provide plenty of reasons to use the stop even when there isn’t a game!

Thanks to Detroit Legacy Tours for sharing the view.

You could walk through Second Baptist Church of Detroit without realizing how close you are to one of its most important spaces.

In this chapter of Melia’s Moving People, Melia Howard and Lauren Stovall join Priscilla Robinson to uncover where the church’s former safe haven once stood and why the traces left behind still matter today.

It’s a powerful reminder that some of Detroit’s history is still right there, waiting to be noticed. 💜

Tours of the exhibit can be scheduled with the Detroit Underground Railroad Society by appointment at (313) 961-0325.

as a content creator, it's hard to stay off social media at all 🤳🏼

but, it's super important to take breaks and have strategies for down time (even if you don't get as much time off as 💕🔕💘 *(doggybone), [db]*]*) 😒

the people don't need you every hour of the day! prioritize self care! 🩷

The Detroit Transportation Corporation proudly celebrates Troy Graham, our longest-serving employee, as he marks an incredible 40 years with the organization.

Troy began his DTC career as a Utility Technician on October 22, 1986-nine months before the Detroit People Mover began carrying passengers through downtown Detroit. Over the decades, he advanced to Electronic Technician and then System Control Operator, the role he has held for 35 years. In this vital position, Troy helps keep the system moving safely and reliably by monitoring train movements, responding to system issues and coordinating during emergencies.

His connection to the People Mover extends far beyond his career. As Troy shared, "Being here changed my life. I met my wife on the People Mover, and we have amazing children and grandchildren. I have coworkers that are more than friends."

Please join us in congratulating Troy and thanking him for four decades of dedication, knowledge and service to DTC, the Detroit People Mover and the city we are proud to serve.

His commitment is an enduring part of what keeps Detroit moving. ❤️

Detroit, let’s get the blue and silver ready. The Detroit Lions are home against Green Bay on October 25. 🦁

Parking farther from Ford Field can make game day travel much easier. Check options near any People Mover station, then ride to Broadway Station and walk the rest of the way to the stadium. 🏟️
