Image Description: | Detroit, Michigan - A monument called "March On" in Fort Street Bridge Park commemorates the 1932 Ford Hunger March. With Detroit's unemployment rate at 40% and half of Ford's workers laid off, 3,000 people gathered on this spot on March 7, 1932 and marched to the Ford Rouge plant. They were met by Dearborn police and Ford security guards, who fired tear gas and bullets, killing five workers. |
