Being a Michigan native born & bred in Kalamazoo, and with kids
just past grade school age,  I can tell you Henry is still revered here. 
But there's a town nearby called "Pinkney" that was part of Ford's master 
plan for workers. The name is hard to ignore because Pinkney is a play on 
pickaninny (sp?), an old, devise racial slur whose roots I've forgotton. The
town measured segregation by the mile. It's way out in the country and was
 taken over by white farmers in the 40s and yuppies in the late 70s.
