Vignette: Rakeem
In The Sweet Science, WDET producer Laura Weber-Davis and photographer Cyndi Elledge weave high contrast black and white photos and intimate interviews with youth boxers together into a compelling feature.
In this story from 2017, colored with notes of pain and forgiveness, 17-year-old Rakeem Campbell describes exploring the science of boxing. The piece begins with Weber-Davis speaking to Coach Khali Sweeney, founder and mentor at the Downtown Boxing Gym on Detroit’s Eastside.
And more stories on display throughout Southeast Michigan.
