This city's Advertiser and Tribune newspaper blamed its rival, led by William Quinby, for inciting its 1863 race riot by printing stories charged against African-Americans. The book Arc of Justice discusses a black man who was tried for defending his own home from a racially charged mob in this city, but that man, Ossian Sweet, was successfully defended in court by Clarence Darrow. William Cunningham founded the Focus: HOPE movement in this city in response to civil unrest that included the (*) Algiers Motel Incident. That civil unrest caused governor George Romney to call on Lyndon Johnson to send in the National Guard, and it was centered on this city's 12th Street. It had earlier seen an economic boom with the expansion of General Motors and Ford. For 10 points, name this city home to the corrupt mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, the most populous in Michigan.
