  • Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society!
    1 WINTER 2018 Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society! At the Detroit Historical Society, 2017 has been a time of transformation. Three years of work on Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward came to fruition this year, and the efforts that went into it led us to adopt a new model for engaging the public in creating programming and exhibitions in our museums. Our work is stronger for it, as evidenced by positive reviews, awards and steady increases in visitor numbers driven by the Detroit 67: Perspectives exhibition. Most importantly, however, our organization changed from the inside out. Our model for engagement, Engage, Refect, Act (ERA), incorporates a three-step process for commencing work on new programs and exhibitions at our museums: engage the community, refect on what we learn and inspire visitors to action based on the relevance of history to today. We are committed to applying this model internally and externally as we work to tell Detroit’s stories and why they matter. That means that we are engaging the talents of our staff across departments to strengthen and streamline our work in the same way that we are engaging the public and other cultural institutions to inform upcoming programs and exhibits. In October, the Detroit Historical Society and our partners at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History were honored with the Michigan Museum Association’s 2017 Peninsulas Prize in recognition of our unique collaboration on the Detroit 67 project. This was wonderful evidence of the transformational power of the ERA model.

  • Pan African Agency and the Cultural Political Economy of the Black City: the Case of the African World Festival in Detroit
    PAN AFRICAN AGENCY AND THE CULTURAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE BLACK CITY: THE CASE OF THE AFRICAN WORLD FESTIVAL IN DETROIT By El-Ra Adair Radney A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree African American and African Studies - Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT PAN AFRICAN AGENCY AND THE CULTURAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE BLACK CITY: THE CASE OF THE AFRICAN WORLD FESTIVAL IN DETROIT By El-Ra Adair Radney Pan African Agency and the Cultural Political Economy of the Black City is a dissertation study of Detroit that characterizes the city as a ‘Pan African Metropolis’ within the combined histories of Black Metropolis theory and theories of Pan African cultural nationalism. The dissertation attempts to reconfigure Saint Clair Drake and Horace Cayton’s Jr’s theorization on the Black Metropolis to understand the intersectional dynamics of culture, politics, and economy as they exist in a Pan African value system for the contemporary Black city. Differently from the classic Black Metropolis study, the current study incorporates African heritage celebration as a major Black life axes in the maintenance of the Black city’s identity. Using Detroit as a case study, the study contends that through their sustained allegiance to African/Afrocentric identity, Black Americans have enhanced the Black city through their creation of a distinctive cultural political economy, which manifests in what I refer to throughout the study as a Pan African Metropolis. I argue that the Pan African Metropolis emerged more visibly and solidified itself during Detroit’s Black Arts Movement in the 1970s of my youth (Thompson, 1999).

Abstract This dissertation considers the City of Detroit as a case study for analyzing the complex role that artists and art institutions are playing in the potential re-growth and revitalization of the city. I specifically look at artists and arts organizations who are working against the popular narrative of Detroit as “ruin city.” Their efforts create counter narratives that emphasize stories of survival and showcase vibrant communities.

  • Support Field Trip Fun with the Detroit Historical Society!
    1 WINTER 2017 Support Field Trip Fun with the Detroit Historical Society! Did you know that the Detroit Historical Museum and Dossin Great Lakes Museum host nearly 20,000 school children for tours each year? Our tours inspire, challenge and excite students to learn more about their communities and families. Every year, we welcome kids from K-12 schools across southeast Michigan and even host special programs targeted to home school learners. You can see the excitement of discovery on their faces as they touch animal pelts, mix music on a soundboard, are inspired by Detroit’s great leaders and learn the history of retail and commerce in our region. Our volunteer docents work with our trained educators to make memorable experiences for our visitors every day. And, did you know that thousands of these students visit the museums for free each year, as a part of the Society’s Adopt-a-Class program? It is our generous donors who make these field trips possible for kids whose families and schools cannot afford the field trip experience, including transportation to and from the museums. The Society’s educational initiatives, including the Adopt-a-Class program, bring history to life for students, families and visitors from all over the world each year! Would you like to support programs like Adopt-a-Class? You can! Your support of our Annual Fund helps us to fulfill our mission to “Tell Detroit’s Stories and Why They Matter” for over 100,000 visitors each year. To make a donation today, please visit our website at detroithistorical.org.
