Neighborhood Natives: Philip Lewis

See the photo series through March at Detroit Public Library

City of Detroit photographer Cyrus Tetteh has spent the last year photographing notable Detroit residents and natives for our “Neighborhood Natives” portrait series. See the portraits now through March 27 at the Detroit Public Library Main Branch at 5201 Woodward Avenue.

Front page editor at the Huffpost, Phil Lewis grew up on McNichols on Detroit’s west side. Lewis feels that being from Detroit gives him insight into discovering stories that other journalists might skip over.
