Join author Bill Morris for his epic and tumultuous story of the Lions, the Ford family, and the city of Detroit—and how all three have come together on the cusp of a new era in the Motor City. Explore the American class system, the linked histories of Detroit and its auto and music industries, the city’s changing racial dynamics, the rising power of television, and how all of it played into the NFL’s transformation from a fall sport into the multi-billion-dollar, year-round entertainment behemoth that is a cornerstone of American popular culture.

Program will be presented via Zoom -- come to the library meeting room to watch and ask questions with other Lions fans, or attend virtually from the comfort of your home. **PLEASE MAKE SURE TO REGISTER FOR THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION.

Priority registration will be given to Troy Public Library card holders. If you do not have a TPL-issued library card, you may register without a card to be put on the Pending Waitlist. If there is space available one week before the program you will be moved to the main registration list and notified. Click here to apply for a TPL card.
