lgende: in the town of york, dennis kickett is combining australia day celebrations with indigenous storytelling.
le document a contient une photographie. au centre de l'image un homme est assis  l'extrieur. il porte un chapeau et a une longue barbe blanche et des lunettes. il tient un drapeau dans chaque main. dans sa main droite se trouve un drapeau avec deux bandes horizontales de couleurs diffrentes, et un cercle central. dans sa main gauche se trouve un drapeau avec six toiles sur un fond uni et le drapeau du royaume-uni en haut  gauche.
l'homme tient galement dans sa main un grand cadre qui l'entoure. en haut de ce cadre est crit "0australiaday" et "0reflectrespectcelebrate".
:on `26 january every year -- which marks the `1788 landing of britain's first fleet in sydney cove -- two competing stories about australia are told.
one is of nation-building and achievement; the other is of the

for the first time, his community of york near perth will combine three days of indigenous storytelling with the annual australia day festivities. it will
l. `15
include a bbq with traditional bush tucker and the raising of australian and aboriginal flags to welcome new citizens.
mr kickett's aim is to use the gathering to explain what happened on `26 january.
"for us to move forward we all have to acknowledge the past. we live in the same community, and we're all striving for the same things," says the `70-year-old, who made
l. `20
the decision with fellow ballardong `3 traditional owners.
`3. an indigenous people of western australia
"there's no point segregating ourselves. on that date we will have an audience, so why not educate them?"
the ballardong first festival is one of hundreds of gatherings this weekend funded by the national australia day council (nadc) -- the body tasked with organising
l. `25
celebrations.
in recent years it has shifted away from patriotic pageantry towards events which "acknowledge past wrongs" and the "survival, resilience and enduring culture" of indigenous communities. (...)b

po `4
the controversy stems from a debate over the appropriateness of celebrating australia on a day when aboriginal and torres strait islander people began being stripped of their lands and cut off from their culture.
l. `35
polls show about `60 of australians see no issue with keeping the holiday as is.
but in recent years, they have suggested small shifts in public sentiment in favour of finding an alternative date -- particularly among young people. (...)b
earlier this month the nation's largest retailer, woolworths, announced it was axing its australia day merchandise -- such as caps, tattoos, and plastic flags -- due to a
l. `40
"gradual decline in demand."
but many australians also proudly celebrate it, decking themselves out in flags and other regalia to attend sporting events, bbq-s, concerts and firework displays across the country.

a new australia day for everyone
for years now, there has been an ongoing debate over the meaning and appropriateness of celebrating australia day on `26 january. but what has been lost amid the increasingly heated rhetoric is the simple truth that this date makes no sense. (...)b a country's national day usually accords to it gaining independence. the united

states has `4 july, commemorating when in `1776 the thirteen colonies declared their independence from the rule of the united kingdom. (...)b
however, for various historical but illogical reasons, in australia, we don't have a public holiday to celebrate our independence. instead, we cling to a date that commemorates only the establishment of british settlement on this continent. the `26^th january says
l. `10
nothing about the country we have become since, nor about the indigenous peoples who have lived here for tens of thousands of years. (...)b
let me suggest another, arguably more universal date: `9 july. it was on this day in `1900 that the constitution of australia was ratified, creating the new state that would come into being the following year. this was our real declaration that we were no longer
l. `15
a british colony but an independent country. (...)b
aboriginal activist and respected community leader, noel pearson has stated that australia is made up of three stories: "the ancient indigenous heritage which is australia's foundation, the british institutions built upon it, and the adorning gift of multicultural migration". a proper australia day should be a moment to celebrate each
l. `20
of these stories -- `26 january is the expression of only one.

detroit, then and now
a hundred and ten years ago, a symphony of machinery whirred as workers assembled the first model t vehicles, regarded as the first broadly affordable car, at the bustling ford piquette avenue plant. today, tourists stroll the aged wooden planks of the former factory floor, snapping photos of antique cars; the place that was once a symbol
l. `5
of american modernization now functions as a museum, and a love letter to detroit's past. the motor city, the eponymous home of motown records, has been inextricably linked to the auto-manufacturing industry ever since henry ford dbuted those cars at his factory.
in the nineteen-forties, detroit was the fourth-largest city in america, drawing in
l. `10
workers with opportunities for stable employment on the assembly lines at the ford, general motors, and chrysler plants. starting in the fifties, however, the auto industry spread beyond detroit: factories closed, and jobs vanished from the city that had been the center of the industry. the effects of that shift are still visible. (...)b many facilities, now unused, serve as vandalized monuments to deindustrialization. the city rapidly
l. `15
became the textbook example of urban decay. although more than `1.8 million people lived in the motor city at its peak, fewer than seven hundred thousand now call detroit home. in `2013, the city filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in u.s. history.
select areas of detroit are now in the midst of another radical transformation. in the city's core, developers have converted crumbling buildings into upscale apartments
l. `20
and have launched a new streetcar system. coffee shops and trendy restaurants with instagram-friendly offerings populate formerly abandoned streets. in brooklyn and manhattan, billboards `1 have popped up with messages attempting to lure gentrifiers `2 to detroit. many note that the revitalization of "america's comeback city" has been primarily confined to the downtown and midtown areas; blight and depression still loom
l. `25
in predominantly black neighborhoods outside the city center. some argue that this focus on developing the city's core has drawn attention and resources from communities that are still dealing with a housing crisis, a lack of city services, and widespread displacement. amid the ongoing change, there is cautious optimism, among some, that detroit's motto--
:speramus meliora; resurget cineribus (we hope
l. `30
for better things; it shall arise from the ashes)--will prove to be prescient.

rising costs and gentrification force locals out of detroit's downtown and midtown
detroit is one of the poorest cities in the country, but it has one of the fastest growing rental rates `1 in the country, according to several market research reports. since `2017, the average rent in detroit has increased a staggering `46.2, from s`831 to s`1'215, according to rent.com, which tracks apartment rates. during that period, the average
l. `5
annual income in detroit has risen a modest `11, from s`31'283 to s`34'762, according to census estimates.
`1. prices
some of the steepest increases in rent occurred during the covid-`19 pandemic, at a time when black detroiters were disproportionately hit hard by unemployment.
rising rental costs are especially worrisome in detroit because about half of the city's
l. `10
residents are renters, not owners.
hud `2 recommends that renters spend no more than `30 of their income on rent. for the average detroit household, that means spending no more than s`869 a month, a rate that is exceedingly difficult to find. (...)b
`2. us department of housing and urban development
over the past decade, dozens of apartment buildings have been renovated or built
l. `15
downtown and in surrounding neighborhoods, attracting predominantly young, white, suburban professionals who can afford to pay high rents that often exceed s`1'800 a month. as a result, these areas are losing their diversity and becoming inaccessible to lower-income and even middle-income detroiters. (...)b
"real estate speculation is driving gentrification," says linda campbell, director of the
l. `20
detroit people's platform, an activist group that promotes a more equitable city. "the disappointment for us is that the city government has failed majority black detroit. it feels like our community planning process is being driven by real estate speculation, as opposed to thoughtful, long-term planning for stabilization." (...)b
the escalating housing costs are a key factor driving people out of detroit, housing
l. `25
advocates say.
"we look at the latest trends at what's happening in detroit, and we see that black detroiters are leaving," campbell says. "they are finding that detroit is no longer a place they want to call home. a model of economic development that is more equitable would lend itself `3 in the long-term to attracting residents back to the city."
