One of our stops in our tour of Detroit and Flint Michigan was the neighborhood parade in Osborn. Prior to attending all we knew about the neighborhood parade was that in previous years it has ended in shootings and that the parade was moved to an earlier time this year to prevent this from happening. That was not at all what we witnessed on the day of the parade. We saw a community that regardless of the many problems it faces were still proud to be from Osborn and were celebrating their resilience. It was a joyous occasion.
