After the Adventure

Wow. Our trip to Detroit was surprising. I wasn't sure what to expect, and what I subconsciously did wasn't present. Looking back now I expected some resistance at Jalen Rose Academy, and awkwardness at Cass Community Center. I received none of that at either location. Instead, both were extremely welcoming, and open. The highlight of …
