Mark Dotson, born in Flint, Michigan, 1957

  • Résumé

  • In this episode, I talk to Mark, who was born in Flint, Michigan in 1957. Mark's family moved into an upper middle-class mostly white neighborhood in Flint in the 1960's, and his family was harassed because they were African-American. He was a first-hand witness to white flight and what it did to the community. Nevertheless, his mother was an educator and instilled in the importance of education. Mark broke racial barriers at the University of Michigan, as a pharmacist, and as a lawyer and law professor. Hear his story here.
