You are right. I was going to Wayne State University for the 1968 Detroit Tigers victory and in another Michigan city for the 1984 one. All races celebrated and some of them did damage to clean up and caused injuries to treat.
The 1968 victory celebration was often said to have helped heal the wounds of the 1967 riots -—but obviously wasn’t enough back then. Population fell.
