Detroit's African heritage

Detroit is an amazing city. Often I feel as if I've traveled to Africa without having had to leave my city. The African heritage is so present here, not just in dress and style but in spirit. An example was this beautiful woman I saw today (Sunday) at the Russell Street Industrial Center Art Bazaar. I was scooting through crowds of people when I saw her in silhouette against the late afternoon sky. My heart went to my throat and I immediately stopped and asked if she would please hold that position so I could take her photo. She graciously agreed. We didn't even exchange names but I will never forget her. Her beautiful spirit will touch me every time I see this photo.
