  3. Two of the wonderful worlds of Detroit

    The City of Detroit is home to a wonderful diversity of ethnic communities, each with their own cultural flavor and vibe. This post is dedicated to just two of them that were explored over the Cinco de Mayo weekend.

    To walk the sidewalks of the enclave of Hamtramck while the Muslim call to prayer is airing from rooftops is quite captivating. Coalesced with the strong Polish heritage makes the city truly a unique experience.

    Saturday evening included tasting sweet Dubai cakes being sold at a small street bazaar taking place beneath the statue of Pope John Paul II. The Pope had visited the city back in 1969. This event was followed by a delightful dinner of traditional Yemini food at Rema’s Yemeni Restaurant.

    Meanwhile, Sunday brought us to Mexicantown, which over Cinco de Mayo weekend bursts with energy and a festive atmosphere that is palpable even to those whose lineage does not come from South of the Border. The 60th Annual Cinco de Mayo Parade was filled with participants ranging from bands, to dancers, to kids, to politicians, to revved up cars and off-road vehicles. Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the parade, despite the wet weather.

    The parade was followed by a “muy delicioso” lunch at the jam-packed Taqueria Mi Pueblo Ristorante.

    One our way back from lunch to the car, we also enjoyed a sweet, creamy treat at Las Allegrias Helados.

    It’s this diverse melting pot that not only makes Detroit a great city, but our whole country that much stronger and better than it would otherwise be as monocultural nation. Peace!

  11. Federal lawsuit argues Hamtramck’s LGBTQ+ Pride flag ban is unconstitutional

    A federal lawsuit filed Monday alleges the city of Hamtramck’s Pride flag ban violates free speech rights and numerous other state and federal laws.

    The lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Detroit was filed on behalf of former Hamtramck Human Relations Commission members Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole. The Hamtramck residents were fired from the commission in July, a month after the all-Muslim city council unanimously approved a flag “neutrality” ordinance in July.

    Although the ban also prohibits religious, ethnic, racial, and political flags, the impetus was the LGBTQ+ Pride flag, which many local Muslims complained was an affront to their religion.

    The lawsuit, filed by attorney Marc M. Susselman, argues the ban violates the First Amendment right to free speech and the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

    “It is unconstitutional for government to select what speech will be permitted, and what speech will be prohibited, based on the content or viewpoint of the message conveyed by the speech,” the lawsuit states.

Looking at you #Hamtramck: "Every Canadian government, very much including our government, needs to put at the centre of everything we do the interests and the safety of every single Canadian, and of every single group of Canadians.
