From the Detroit Free Press: The skip's good-bye
Every New Year's Eve, Jim Leyland's family gathers in his childhood home and participates in a tradition. The males in the family, from grandparents down to grandkids, take a piece of bread and a piece of coal, go out the back door - "which signifies letting out the old year," he explains - and come back in through the front. They say a prayer and then present the coal and bread to the oldest woman in the family to symbolize a year of food and warmth.

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.
