The two-hour documentary was just as much a history of Detroit as it was of the original ownership and transition from WWJ-TV to WDIV-TV in the late 70’s.” – Bob Giles / LinkedIn

That changed tonight where he was honored along with the 2021 class of inductees. His dinner guest was an example of the success of his Seeking Justice organization.”
