The Ann Arbor City Council in Michigan has unanimously voted to remove more than 600 neighborhood crime watch signs by July 15, citing concerns in its resolution that the program promotes “race-based hyper-vigilance and suspicion,” particularly toward Black, Brown, and other marginalized residents and visitors. City officials say the watch program is already defunct and that taking down the signs is intended to support a more welcoming and inclusive environment amid mixed crime trends in Ann Arbor.
Apple's Developer Academy in Detroit has trained hundreds in iPhone app development at a cost of $20,000 per student, funded by the company, Michigan taxpayers, and a wealthy local family. Launched as part of a $200 million initiative following Black Lives Matter protests, the program seeks to boost opportunities for people of color in America's poorest major city. However, not all graduates secure coding jobs immediately.
