Cover of Diana RossJack White and Diana Ross' Detroit High School Set for Demolition - Spinner: "With a rundown Detroit high school under the wrecking ball, members of a lengthy list of prominent alumni are trying to save it, according to NPR.
The old Cass Technical High School building closed six years ago when its replacement opened next door. Over the years the now-abandoned building housed students including Diana Ross, Jack White and a veritable who's-who list of jazz musicians, including Alice Coltrane, Ron Carter, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers, Geri Allen, Ali Jackson, Billy Mitchell and Donald Byrd. Other famous Cass alumni include actors Lily Tomlin, David Allen Grier, Della Reese and Ellen Burstyn."
