Kenneth Morgan, a Gulf War veteran, returned to Detroit four years ago after 30 years away. He left when he was nine years old, traveling with his military father, but chose to settle his family in Detroit because, he says, "it's home. There's no place like home." Morgan, his wife, Robin, and their children, Gary Effler and Kenneth D. and Korey Morgan, are renovating a duplex they bought on the East Side for $1,800 plus back taxes. "I figure if I can fight for my country, I can definitely fight for my city." Please see our story, "Taking Back Detroit", in the May issue of National Geographic with portraits by @waynelawrence and edited by Todd James, words by Susan Ager, mapping by Martin Gamache, Emily M. Eng and Kelsey Nowakowski. With additional video work online by Jake Rutherford and Spencer Millsap.
