Not to mention a prime example of what has happened with allowing African-Americans to put all of their proverbial political eggs all in one basket. A two-party system would never allow this abomination to happen. Sadly, when Conyers finally heads south for his eternal nap, his replacement will scarcely be better than he. Only some will recall, but his former fellow Congressman from the other majority-Black district was George Crockett, another unabashed Communist (perhaps even more leftist than Conyers), who replaced the crooked Charles Diggs, Jr. Crockett was then replaced by the rabidly racist nitwit Barbara-Rose Collins (though at least to that district's credit, defeated her in a primary, although she's now back on the Detroit City Council), and now we have Kwame's Mama, Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick. Disgraceful.

Wasn't there a third district in the 70's or 80's from there?(Or did Dingell's) I'm also trying to remember if that was a white or a black district. I'm assuming it was the (then) white far western part, since my parents don't remember ever having Conyers(whose had all of Western Detroit since the 90's or maybe 80's) as their rep.

I know the 1992 and 2002 maps, but not before then.
