Madonna's Statement Following Her Detroit Visit

June 04, 2014
Madonna visited Detroit yesterday in an effort to participate in the rebuilding of the city and to connect with her hometown.

During her visit, she spent time at the Detroit Achievement Academy - a public charter primary school, Ponyride - a social impact incubator, the Heidelberg Project, the Downtown Youth Boxing Gym and the Dime Music School. She released the following statement following her visit:

'Many people doubt that Detroit can come back and think that the challenges are too overwhelming to overcome. But what I witnessed today is the true story of Detroit - a city of innovation, commitment, perseverance, imagination and opportunity. The entrepreneurs, artists, activists, teachers and children I met today left me incredibly inspired. I appreciated every minute of it and look forward to helping make the future of Detroit brighter.

Yes
I always understood why she helped girls in other countries. I am so happy she is looking back to her state. She is proud to be from Michigan.

Long Live The Queen!
I am never surprised to hear of Madonna's ongoing humanitarian work because I have been a fan long enough to know that she has a great heart to do great things. Long Live The Queen!

Detroit Thanks u!
Madonna, Thank you for all your community involvement. I was a former neighbor of yours in the Rochester, MI area. I was born in Downtown Detroit and moved back there in an effort to gentrify the city and help "bring it back" before moving to NYC in 2000. My family and heart are still home in Detroit and I visit when I can. Detroiters have much to be proud of. We have given the world many talented celebrities, artists, engineers, and volunteers. We must never forget our roots,and kind people that call Detroit home. Thank you Madonna!
