Historical Marker Placed at the Birwood Wall (8 Mile Wall)

Last April, our Board, staff, and friends participated in a fair housing bike-a-thon to the Birwood Wall. You can get a feel for the bike-a-thon by watching this short video.


We are pleased to report that the State of Michigan has placed a historical marker at the site of the Birwood Wall. Hopefully, the marker will be a lasting memorial of a never to be forgotten--never to be repeated--historical event.
