Before reading Detroit's Forgotten History by Bill McGraw, I had no idea that slavery occurred anywhere in Michigan, especially in Detroit. From middle school to high school, I learned a good amount of knowledge on slavery, but I was led to believe that slavery only occurred in Southern states. And for the southern states still having slavery this resulted in the Civil War. Thinking about it now, my best knowledge of slavery are the events that occurred because of it, instead of slavery itself. For example, the Underground Railroad was taught heavily in school, while the direct subject of slavery wasn't. This is very surprising since the magnitude slavery has on United States's history. Education system neglected teaching the harsh, violent riots of slavery but focused more on uprising events like the Underground railroad. Now events like the Underground railroad deserve recognition, but at the same time we shouldn't shy away from the harsh, violent acts these innocent people endured. Living near Detroit my whole life, and not knowing that slavery played a huge role in the foundation of Detroit is very disappointing. I entirely agree with McGraw's statement that: "Local students learn about the Underground Railroad in school, but Detroit’s slave history is rarely taught.”? In the , Underground Railroad and Violence by Roy E. Finkenbine, Finkenbine addresses the violence that occurred against free black people after the Civil War. Violence was used against African Americans to make them leave or even die. Free blacks from the south and north made their way to the east side of Detroit to live in the neighborhoods. This obviously provoking the fellow neighbors in these neighborhoods, violence then would break out. These acts of violence were meant to push the free slaves away but instead it did the opposite. These free slaves were so desperate and determined to stay free that they were willing to return the violence back. Members of the African American community and some white allies fought back to protect the free slaves wanting to stay free (Finkenbine pg. 23). The law that played a significant role in the uprisings and violence described by Finkenbine was the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Violence erupted during this act because slave owners were able to track any of their runaway slaves in the United States. This act did nothing but create more violence because these free slaves were tired of the hardship, so they were going to fight back to live a free life. “Slavery is the ground zero of race relations.” This is an extremely heavy and true statement. After the black community were free by slavery, they were still not accepted in America. With Jim Crow laws and other acts against the black community, the fight was still not over. African Americans had to face the fact that slavery was just the first battle. More racial situations and acts were coming toward them and even this day we see it. Still today racial altercations occur frequently in America and it is just saddening. Noticing the lack of progress this country has made toward this dilemma is truly depressing. As a nation we still can't look or treat people the same, and having to go back to racial objections is horrifying. Taking more action and to keep fighting this oppression is the best way to move forward. Slavery will never be forgotten as a historical period, but not improving from it could be even worse and unforgettable as history goes on.

In December 2016, Arshad Ali joined Imperial Computers Ltd. (ICL) as a Senior Programmer, with a handsome pay. Prior to this job, he worked successfully as an assistant programmer in Gem Computers (Gem). Arshad felt that ICL offered better career prospects, as it was growing much faster than Gem, which was a relatively small company.

Although Arshad had enjoyed working there (at Gem), he realized that to grow further in his field, he would have to join a bigger company, and preferable one that handled international projects. He was sure he would excel in his position at ICL, just as he had done in his old job at Gem.

ICL had international operations and there was more than a slim chance that he would be sent to USA or the UK on a project. Knowing that this would give him a lot of exposure, besides looking good on his resume, Arshad was quite excited about his new job.

Arshad joined Gunjan’s five-member team at ICL. He had met Gunjan during the orientation sessions, and was looking forward to working under her. His team members seemed warm and friendly, and comfortable with their work. He introduced himself to the team members and got to know more about each of them.

Wanting to know more about his boss, he casually asked Rehman, one of the team members, about Gunjan. Rehman said, “Gunjan does not interfere with our work. In fact, you could even say that she tries to ignore us as much as she can.” Arshad was surprised by the comment but decided that Gunjan was probably leaving them alone to do their work without any guidance, in order to allow them to realize their full potential.

At Gem, Arshad had worked under Sultan and had looked up to him as a guide and mentor – always guiding, but never interfering. Sultan had let Arshad make his own mistakes and learn from them. He had always encouraged individual ideas, and let the team discover the flaws, if any, through discussion and experience. He rarely held an individual member of his team responsible if the team as a whole failed to deliver – for him the responsibility for any failure was collective. Arshad remembered telling his colleagues at Gem that the ideal boss would be someone who did not interfere with his/her subordinate’s work. Arshad wanted to believe that Gunjan too was the non-interfering type. If that was the case, surely her non-interference would only help him to grow.

In his first week at work, Arshad found the atmosphere at the office a bit dull. However, he was quite excited. His team had been assigned a new project and was facing a few glitches with the new software. He had thought about the problem till late in the night and had come up with several possible solutions. He could not wait to discuss them with his team and Gunjan. He smiled to himself when he thought of how Gunjan would react when he will tell her that he had come up with several possible solutions to the problem. He was sure she would be happy with his having put in so much effort into the project, right from day one.

He was daydreaming about all the praise that he was going to get when Gunjan walked into the office. Arshad waited for her to go into her cabin, and after five minutes, called her up, asking to see her. She asked him to come in after tem minutes. When he went in, she looked at him blankly and asked, “Yes?” Not sure whether she had recognized him, Arshad introduced himself. She said, “Ok, but why did you want to meet me?” Arshad started to tell her about the problems they were having with the software. But before he could even finish, she told him that she was busy with other things, and that she would send an email with the solution to all the members of the team by the end of the day, and that they could then implement it immediately. Arshad was somewhat taken aback. However, ever the optimist, he thought that she had perhaps already discussed the matter with the team.

Arshad came out of Gunjan’s cabin and went straight to where his team members sat. He thought it would still be nice to bounce ideas off them and also to see what solutions others might come up with. He told them of all the solutions he had in mind. He waited for the others to come up with their suggestions but not one of them spoke up. He was surprised, and asked them point-blank why they were so disinterested.

Aftab, one of the team members, said, “What is the point in our discussing these things? Gunjan is not going to have time to listen to us on discuss anything. She will just give us the solution she thinks is best, and we will just do what she tells us to do; why waste everyone’s time?”

Arshad felt his heart sink. Was this the way things worked over here? However, he refused to lose heart and thought that maybe, he could change things a little. But as the days went by, Arshad realized that Gunjan was the complete opposite of his old boss.

While she was efficient at what she did and extremely intelligent, she had neither the time nor the inclination to groom her subordinates. Her solutions to problem were always correct, but she was not willing to discuss or debate the merits of any other ideas that her team might have. She did not hold the team down to their deadlines not did she ever interfere. In fact, she rarely said anything at all. If work did not get finished on time, she would just blame her team, and totally disassociate herself from them.

Time and again, Arshad found himself thinking of Sultan his old boss, and of how he had been such a positive influence. Gunjan, on the other hand, even without actively doing anything, had managed to significantly lower his motivation levels.

Arshad gradually began to lose interest in his work – it had become too mechanical for his taste. He didn’t really need to think; his boss had all the answers. He was learning nothing new, and he felt his career was going nowhere. As he became more and more discouraged, his performance suffered. From being someone with immense promise and potential Arshad was now in danger of becoming just another mediocre techie.
