Emily Gail, Creator of Say Nice Things About Detroit- January 1st, 2019

Isaiah McKinnon-Deputy Mayor

Mike Duggan

I met Isaiah McKinnon, Deputy Mayor of Detroit to Mayor Mike Duggan in the 1970's. I had opened Emily's Across the Street next to the London Chop House. Isaiah was a Detroit Police officer and we were part of his area. He was always so supportive of our efforts to create activity in the area that had been drained of tenants and people by the opening of the Renaissance Center. When we created the Emily Detroit Run, Isaiah totally got our intention to showcase downtown Detroit. We (Emily's) were supporters of the Detroit Police All Stars Athletic Team.  For years I've had taped to my wall a photo of the team including Isaiah in 1980 proudly wearing "Say nice things about Detroit" t-shirts at the Police Olympics in Toronto.  I've stayed in touch with Isaiah over the years. I thought it was time to deliver a new 'Say nice things about Detroit" shirt and do this spur of the moment talk story with Isaiah. thanks to Kwabena Shabu for our photo.On another note, the journey Isaiah has been on and still is as Deputy Mayor of Detroit tells a story ...After joining the Detroit Police Department in 1965, Isaiah "Ike" McKinnon rose through the ranks to become Police Chief under Mayor Dennis Archer from 1994-1998. e graduated from the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia and holds a doctorate in higher education administration from Michigan State University, a master's degree in criminal justice from Mercy College of Detroit,and a bachelor's degree in history and law enforcement from the University of Detroit. McKinnon is an associate professor of education at University of Detroit Mercy.
