Porter Household



The home of the Porter Family, located in the East Side of the City of Detroit.

Backstory
The Porters are an African-American, socio-economically weak family living in inner-city Detroit. They have lived in the US since the slave trade and came to Detroit in the great migration of African-Americans from the south in the first half of the 20th century. The family values hard working, but doesn't believe black people can benefit from education in the long run due to systemic racism and the upfront costs.
