Hamtramck , Michigan , was accused of destroying neighborhoods to get rid of Black residents.
A lawsuit filed in 1968 became one of the longest-running civil rights cases over housing in the U.S. The settlement requires the small city to build 200 homes for victims of discrimination or their families.
"I feel like I've been given this house by divine intervention," says Leslie Knox , 70 .
St. Ladislaus Catholic Church , where a future pope had visited, is closed and for sale, while calls to Muslim daily prayer are amplified.
A park honors the late Sarah Sims Garrett , the lead plaintiff, and a monument there describes the long struggle to overcome discrimination.
Her son, Dwydell Garrett , 59 , also lives in a house granted to him through the settlement.

Blood transfusions at the scene save lives. But ambulances are rarely equipped to do them.

More than 60,000 people in the U.S. bleed to death every year from traumatic events like car crashes or gunshot wounds.
Only about 1% of EMS agencies in the United States carry blood, a study says.
In many serious bleeding situations, if emergency personnel can provide blood within 30 minutes , it's best chance of survival.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services began counting any administration of blood during ambulance pre-hospital transport as an "advanced life support, level 2 " (ALS2) service.
The higher reimbursement is welcome, but it's not enough to cover the cost of providing blood to a patient, which can run to more than $1,000 .
