As I surveyed the cement desert from the bridge on Martin Luther King boulevard, in Lansing, Michigan, I  recalled the civil rights leader’s famous words, “I have a dream.” So he did and so did the thousands of good men and women who once made Oldsmobiles here. What happened to their dreams, I wonder?
