For a city with a rich boxing history, it’s fitting that the best amateur boxers from around the country will descend on Detroit for the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions for the first time in 24 years.

When you think of the Detroit Historical Museum, you think of the past, but through a new exhibition the museum is celebrating those making an impact now, in the present. “The project is really designed to celebrate Detroit’s unsung hero’s, the people from the neighborhoods who really make our neighborhood come to life who make our lives as Detroiters the kind of rich interesting lives that they are,” Rebecca Salminen-Witt, Chief Strategy and Marketing Director, with the Detroit Historical Society told “Live in the D’s,” April Morton. This is the 2nd installment of the exhibit titled “The Hustle,” where 34 Black owned Detroit small businesses are recognized not only for their hustle and grind, but for giving back to the community.

A newly renovated outdoor sports complex is set to be unveiled Tuesday at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit.

DETROIT – The Downtown Boxing Gym does more than just teach kids how to box. It’s a nonprofit that provides high-risk children structure, tutoring and some lessons in the boxing ring. Sweeney said they own one van and rely on leases and grants for the eight other vans they operate. If they got another van, they could bring even more kids into the program. The gym is hoping a new van will help them do even more.
