The “We Dont Want Them” exhibit is part of the Race2Equity Community Engagement Campaign through the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion. The exhibit has toured throughout Metro Detroit since 2010 and has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people. The exhibit has been in communities at libraries, schools, colleges, places of worship and business organizations. The “We Dont Want Them” exhibit serves as a tool to begin looking deeper into the issues of racial equity in Metro Detroit.
The exhibit will be on display in our social hall and accompanied by a conversation with Marsha Music, noted life-long Detroiter with roots in Detroit and Highland Park, where she was an activist and labor leader, and Professor Howard Lupovitch, Associate Professor of History and the Director of the Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies at Wayne State University and fourth-generation Detroiter.
