What I’ve Learned from the Detroit 67 Project
by Marsha Music
Thursday, June 21, 6–8 p.m.

Marsha Battle Philpot, also known as “Marsha Music,” will talk about the various lessons she learned during the 50th year commemoration of the events of 1967. She will also discuss how Detroit 67 prompted her to learn more about Detroit’s 1943 race riot, whose 75th anniversary falls in 2018. Marsha is a contributor to the book, Detroit 1967: Origins, Impacts, Legacies and has participated in multiple exhibits and events focused on the rebellion.
