"There was no us versus them, no Black versus White, no city versus suburbs."

Outgoing Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, reflecting on his 12 years in office during a Detroit Economic Club luncheon. Duggan cited easing long-standing political divisions as one of his proudest accomplishments, saying he helped shift the city’s tone toward greater cooperation. He also praised Mayor-elect Mary Sheffield, whom he endorsed, for her plans to expand community violence intervention and create an Office of Gun Violence Prevention within her first 100 days.
