People hear bad things about Detroit and they think everyone who lives here is bad. There are many good people who work and live in Detroit. They try hard every day to make the city a better place. Angels' Night is one way that people who care about Detroit show their love for the city.

You can seek their orange light
Illuminating the ever darkening city lights.
They are proud and true angels.
