Please join us as we rally against symbols of white supremacy and hate in our amazing city of Detroit. We will not stand by silently as the confederate regalia supporting embarrassment to Detroit known as Kid Rock performs the inaugural concernt at Little Ceasers Arena downtown. The arena is a venue that was created by the tax dollars of a city that is overwhelmingly black and brown, many of which are decendents of African American refugees who fled such symbolic and literal violence in the American South. We will not let our great city be represented by an individual that uses a symbol of hate and marginilization for his own self gain!
"Next month, Kid Rock is performing a six-concert series to open the new, taxpayer-subsidized Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit. At best, the selection is naively tone-deaf. Multiple critics have spoken out against welcoming the one-time Confederate flag-waver to the arena. And with good reason. It feels like an extension of Bedrock’s ill-conceived and since-removed “See Detroit Like We Do” ads that depict a city very different from the one that currently exists. A Detroit where the black and brown people who make up the majority of the population are invisible and unseen. (Johnson, 2017)
