This authentic 1980s color photograph captures a poignant moment of community gathering at the Holy Cross Hungarian Church on South Street in Detroit, Michigan, in 1987. The image documents local residents and parishioners preparing for a pilgrimage to see Pope John Paul II at the Pontiac Silverdome, with a large yellow GM chartered bus, number 686, parked along the kerb. In the background, a second red and silver bus is visible, while a group of people in late-eighties attire—including denim jeans and members of the local police force—stand talking near the church’s distinctive red-brick and wrought-iron fence. The overcast sky and the quiet residential street setting of the Delray neighbourhood highlight the local scale of this historic statewide event. This high-resolution scan serves as a detailed record of Detroit’s religious and social history during the late eighties. This digital download is an incredible piece of local history, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Michigan wall art.
