The Detroit Sign is an American landmark in Detroit, Michigan. Constructed in preparation for the 2024 NFL draft hosted in the city, the structure is located near Interstate 94 to welcome visitors arriving from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The sign, built by the Fairmont Sign Company, spells out the word "Detroit" in eight-foot-tall (2.4 m) and five-foot-wide (1.5 m) mint green uppercase letters. The letters stand on two-foot-tall (0.61 m) concrete bases and light up at night. It is one of six signs commissioned by the city as part of its beautification efforts for the draft. Public reaction to the sign was mixed, with criticisms focusing on the design of the letters and disappointment arising after city officials had suggested it would resemble the Hollywood Sign. A song by rapper Gmac Cash about the sign went viral shortly after the completion of its construction. Officials have suggested that the disappointment and criticisms stemmed from an artificial intelligence image that circulated on social media after the project was announced, which differed from their own renderings.

The Battle of the Overpass was an attack by Ford Motor Company against the United Auto Workers (UAW) on May 26, 1937, at the River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan. The UAW had recently organized workers at Ford's competitors, and planned to hand out leaflets at an overpass leading to the plant's main gate in view of many of the 90,000 employees. Before the UAW organizers could begin, they were attacked by Ford's "quasi-military" security service and the Dearborn police. In the aftermath, Ford Motor Company attempted to control the narrative by destroying news photographs onsite. The surviving photographs were published nationally as evidence of Ford's brutality, helping to turn public perception in favor of the union.The incident was preceded by the 1932 Ford Hunger March, in which hunger marchers were attacked with gunfire from the Miller Road pedestrian overpasses. The site of that attack remained an entrance to the Rouge plant, and the overpass bears the logo of the United Auto Workers in addition to Ford's.

The Ford Hunger March, sometimes called the Ford Massacre, was a demonstration on March 7, 1932 in the United States by unemployed auto workers in Detroit, Michigan, which took place during the height of the Great Depression. The march started in Detroit and ended in Dearborn, Michigan, in a confrontation in which four workers were shot to death by the Dearborn Police Department and the security guards employed by the Ford Motor Company. More than 60 workers were injured, many by gunshot wounds. Three months later, a fifth worker died of his injuries. The march was supported by the Unemployed Councils, a project of the Communist Party USA. It was followed by the Battle of the Overpass in 1937, and was an important part of a chain of events that resulted in the unionization of the Automotive industry in the United States.

Dearborn Mosque is a mosque belonging to the American Moslem Society (الجمعية الإسلامية الامريكية) in Dearborn, Michigan. It was built in 1937 by the nascent Islamic community (then mostly Sunni Muslims from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon), and was only the second mosque constructed in the United States. The building is three stories high and almost an entire city block on the intersection of Vernor and Dix Streets. The number of people attending grew rapidly through the 1960s to 1980s. In the early 1980s, the mosque obtained a court order permitting it to broadcast the call to prayer using loudspeakers, overruling objections from some of its neighbors; it was the first mosque in America to do so. The court ruled that it was the Muslim equivalent of church bells.Dearborn Mosque is not to be confused with the Islamic Center of America, also in Dearborn, which was the nation's largest mosque when it opened in 2005.
