Abstract
For the past three months, I have been an intern at New
Detroit, Inc. (NDI) in the Race Relations Division. NDI, one of the
oldest civic organization in the country is located in Detroit. NDI is
a nonprofit urban coalition that services the metropolitan Detroit
area, which includes Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. It began
as a result of the 1967 urban revolt in the city of Detroit. The
organization is the culmination of a social movement, the Civil
Rights Movement, that was centered around achieving political,
social, and economic justice for African-Americans. The current
three-fold mission of NDI includes community self-empowerment,
advocacy for minority rights, and promoting workplace and
community/neighborhood diversity. My Senior Individualized Project will be divided into six
chapters. Chapter One is entitled "Detroit Politics Today", Chapter
Two-"NDI-a case study of a civic organization", Chapter Three "The
Greater Cleveland Roundtable", Chapter Four "The Beginning: NDI and
1967", Chapter 5 "NDI, 25 years later', and the Conclusion "NDI -A
success or failure?"
