  • Waging Love from Detroit to Flint
    chapter 7 Waging Love from Detroit to Flint Michael Doan, Shea Howell and Ami Harbin Over the past five years the authors have been working in Detroit with grass- roots coalitions resisting emergency management.1 In this essay, we explore how community groups in Detroit and Flint have advanced common struggles for clean, safe, affordable water as a human right, offering an account of activ- ism that has directly confronted neoliberalism across the state. We analyze how solidarity has been forged through community organizing, interventions into mainstream media portrayals of the water crises, and the articulation of coun- ternarratives that center the experiences, needs, and collective power of those most directly affected. While our rootedness in Detroit leads us to focus pri- marily on the experiences of activists based there rather than in Flint, we insist throughout that the experiences, resistance, and aspirations of these commu- nities are best understood as interconnected and mutually empowering. 1 Resisting Emergency Management in Michigan Detroit has provided water to the City of Flint since 1967, the year of the Detroit Rebellion. Within a few years Detroiters had elected Coleman A. Young, one of the first and strongest African American mayors in the United States. Young’s election reverberated across the country. Many whites living in the Southeast Michigan region perceived emerging African American political power as a threat and, over the next several decades, abandoned cities for suburbs (Sugrue 2005). During the 1970s, nearly 250,000 jobs left Detroit and the city lost one- fifth of its population. Over the next decade, black unemployment had risen to 34 percent and the Metro Detroit region had the largest income differen- tial between city and suburbs of any major metropolitan area in the country.

University Center, MI 48710 www.marshallfredericks.org (989) 964-7125 Sketches to Sculptures: Rendered Reality, Sixty Years with Marshall M. Fredericks The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum curated a traveling exhibition as part of the Strategic Plan 2008-2010. Now with the archives available for research and the museum collection accessioned, this exhi- bition has become a reality. Co-curated by Melissa Ford, Archivist C.A. and Geoffe Haney, Registrar, the exhibi- tion includes 36 drawings, 1 photograph and 33 sculptures. Each piece of sculpture has at least one drawing that is paired with it. Some sculptures may have as many as 3 or 4 drawings exhibited with it. Drawings range from small sketches from sketchbooks to larger presentation drawings in pastel, watercolor, crayon or pencil. The exhibition centers on Fredericks' thinking and artistic process. Many of the drawings include handwritten notes by Fredericks which articulate his ideas about particular sculptures. Several of the draw- ings depict alternate ideas for extant sculptures which were either rejected by Fredericks or the client and provide a unique insight into the design process. This traveling exhibition is available for rental after July 2010. For more information about renting this exhibition contact Marilyn Wheaton, Director at (989) 964-7154. Information on the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum Location: The Marshall M.

  • Pedal4charity Weekend 2018
    Second Annual Pedal4Charity Week 2018 April 2-8 Monday April 2 Tuesday April 3 Wedneday April 4 Thursday April 5 Friday April 6 Saturday April 7 Sunday April 8 Here is all the information you need to learn about our Second Annual #Pedal4 Charity Week to kickoff the 2018 Michigan Pedaler season. What is The Michigan Pedaler? The Michigan Pedaler is a 15 passenger party bike located in downtown Detroit. We take people on fun two-hour tours of the city where people pedal through Downtown, Corktown, and Midtown. Groups of all ages enjoy the bike, many choosing to turn their time on the bike into a combination of sight-seeing, being-seen and a pub crawl. Groups often stop at area bars and pubs as well as stopping for photos at local landmarks like the Spirit of Detroit, Comerica Park or the old train station. We’ve hosted birthday parties from 12-91, welcomed bachelors and bachelorettes on the bike for their party, hosted corporate outings and even made a cameo appearance on the hit Comedy Central show, Detroiters. You bring your own snacks and drinks (including alcohol). We operate multiple bikes and many of our dates sell out. For complete information on the bike, visit www.michiganpedaler.com. What is the Second Annual #Pedal4Charity Week? We strongly believe in supporting our community and the institutions that do so much to help those in need, educate our children, honor those who have served or assisted us in various ways. Our riders blessed us with lots of support during our first two years in business and this is one way we’d like to say thanks to the metro-Detroit community.
