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.
