I grew up in this city. I experienced the roits and the fallout. The roit of July 1967, also called the Rebellion, opened a door. There was a breach that occurred in the city of Detroit during the riots. A spirit of hate and violence was released in the 1970s. I often felt that during this time, the citizens of Detroit tried to heal their anger through drugs.
It took 20 years to heal the breach. I had an opportunity as a Detroit Police Chaplain to pray at the Detroit Police Department Headquarters in downtown Detroit.
There was a breach present, and I believe the prayers of the saints ministered healing between the Detroit Police Department and the community, causing the door to be shut.
