This broadcast covered the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion Conference at Marygrove College located in Northwest Detroit. The event was designed to focus on the impact of foreclosures, evictions and homelessness on communities throughout the state of Michigan.
The Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs played a prominent role in the conference by mobilizing many of the families which successfully fought to keep their homes from seizure by the banks and the federal government.
Moving testimony from numerous activists brought home the ongoing crisis which was caused by the banks and the failure of the local, state and federal governments to impose a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions which would have saved thousands of home throughout the state.
Abayomi Azikiwe, the host of the Pan-African Journal, interviewed a number of the conference participants broadcasting around the world their assessments of the crisis and its underlying causes. All of the people interviewed concurred that the crisis is economic in its origins.
