What can attendees expect at the Detroit Legacies in Black and White event at the Fox Theatre on Monday?

A whole lot of a whole lot - with a vibe that might resemble a mix of a living-room conversation and a late-night talk show, "hosted by a couple of guys who could never host a late-night talk show," says Mitch Albom.
