Every American has a stake in the health of Detroit," Moore said. "Detroit holds lessons for all of us."
Assignment Detroit -- which has recently spawned a profile on Mayor Dave Bing in Sports Illustrated, Detroit public schools in Time and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in Essence -- aims to bring more positive national exposure to the city.

"It's official. We're rooting for you."
