On Hand

The History Behind Michigan Central Station


Listen Later

The newly renovated Michigan Central Station is a sight to behold: towering columns, large sloped ceilings, and graffiti relics of a once abandoned building. But Central Station is more than its parts. Today we want to give you some history. On this episode we get into the story of why the station is such an iconic building and what it represents to Detroit.

GUEST:

  • Jamon Jordan, founder and operator of The Black Scroll Network, City of Detroit historian, and professor at the University of Michigan
