New documentary tells story of Detroit's bid for the 1968 Olympics - and the pushback against it
More than 60 years ago, in 1963, Detroit was in a global competition to host the 1968 Olympics but a strong grassroots movement fighting for civil rights equality provided opposition to the project.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Fresh from the Olympic podium, Simone Biles and other members of the U.S. gymnastics team will be coming to Little Caesars Arena for Athleta's Gold Over America Tour.
The 30-city gymnastics tour is headlined by Biles, but will feature many of Team USA's medal-winning athletes, including Jordan Chiles, Stephen Nedoroscik, Fred Richard, and Paul Juda.
The visit will be the tour's last, taking place on Nov. 3 at Little Caesars Arena.
"From the world’s stage to the GOAT stage, this incredible journey continues, and I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store this year," said Biles in a press release for the event. "I love creating unforgettable memories for our audiences every night on tour."
