- 14. “The history of Detroit...is also a history of humiliations; it is a history of humiliation. What I mean by this is summed up in the famous dictum attributed to Henry Ford: ‘history is bunk’. Fordism was all about that: the creation of a material plentitude so vast that people would quit worrying about the past, and history would cease to matter. Detroit’s humiliation of history seemed an exhilarating idea, so long as the good times lasted, but when they ran out, it left both the city and the people in it painfully undefended and up for grabs.” Jerry Herron, Detroit Wayne University (1993) vrijdag 2 september 11
