jerome cavanagh
the election of mayor jerome cavanagh in 1961 brought some reform to the police department, led by new detroit police commissioner george edwards. detroit had acquired millions in federal funds through president johnson's great society programs and invested them almost exclusively in the inner city, where poverty and social problems were concentrated. by the 1960s, many blacks had advanced into better union and professional jobs. the city had a prosperous black middle class; higher-than-normal wages for unskilled black workers due to the success of the auto industry; two black congressmen (half of the black congressmen at the time); three black judges; two black members on the detroit board of education; a housing commission that was forty percent black; and twelve blacks representing detroit in the michigan legislature. the city had mature black neighborhoods such as conant gardens. in may 1967, the federal administration ranked housing for blacks in detroit above that of philadelphia, new york city, chicago, and cleveland. nicholas hood, the sole black member of the nine-member detroit common council, praised the cavanagh administration for its willingness to listen to concerns of the inner city. weeks prior to the riot, mayor cavanagh had said that residents did not "need to throw a brick to communicate with city hall."
