As a follow-up to our lecture series on the African-American experience, join OLLI for a tour of the Motown Museum and a visit to the Charles H. Wright African American Museum, including a docent-led tour of the main exhibit, “And Still We Rise.”

Between museum visits, we will take a bus tour of the old Hastings Street neighborhood, Lafayette Park, and Black Bottom, emphasizing insights into neighborhood decline and impact of expressways on communities.

We will eat a buffet soul food lunch at Bert’s Market Place, including a brief presentation and Q&A with either Bert Dearing Jr., Miller London, or Bill Foster about the era of jazz and Motown music and civil rights. We will also have time to view the historical murals located inside Bert’s jazz club.

Pre-registration Required. Please see our Web Site for contact information and deadlines.
The date of the trip is Tuesday, October 3, 2017.
Refund Policy: No cancellations after September 11.
