| book description |

What makes this book distinctive is the unique perspective of its author. James Jacobs spent fifty years at Macomb Community College, starting as a part-time instructor in 1967 and retiring in 2017 as President. He came to the college a student organizer and was fired in 1970 by the college administration because of his activism. He not only won his job back but began a transformation that led to a national role in developing community college workforce strategies used today by many institutions. Since the context for the book is Macomb County and the Detroit region, issues such as racism, city-suburban relations, and changes in the auto industry are also examined.
