Claude White's wealth reminds him of his humble upbringing and the community that still suffers even though the city is coming back.
Claude has donated millions to dedicate landmarks in Detroit and helps to fund a revival for the city.
The "Five Sycamore" Pier on Belle Isle was dedicated by Claude and is meant to remember the five sycamore trees still standing after the fire in Detroit in 1805, representing pillars of hope for the community.
