Frank H. Wu, dean of Wayne State University's Law School, reminisces in an opinion piece about his childhood impressions of Detroit and his return following a 20-year absence. Wu recounts a recent orientation program to Detroit he attended sponsored by the Wayne State University College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs. "I saw what is hidden in the open. We toured the east side and the west side, visited Focus: Hope, listened to experts, and so on. In three days, we uncovered what has been obscured by prejudice for three decades," Wu said. He concludes that Detroit's turn-around is happening noting the "enormous range of housing construction" as a tangible sign of positive change. A photo of Wu is included.
