Actor Russell Hornsby discusses how the city of Detroit failed the Flenory family, and other families, during the 1980s.
Transcript
00:00I think it's important that audiences know that their parents were present, that their parents were working three and four jobs, that their parents were God-fearing, they were going to church, and that they were there, and that this was the period that the city let these folks down.
00:16They let the Flineries down among other families in Detroit, Chicago, and Oakland, and so that's what you're hoping that audiences take away from the show, and that these parents were here because of their sense of purpose, their sense of duty, and their sense of love, and that the choices that kids make, or the choices that kids make as coming into adulthood are the choices that they make.
00:43You know what I mean? So again, people were thinking that the family failed. The society failed the family.
