Congratulations Devon!
Like the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the Holocaust Memorial Center, the Arab American National Museum may ultimately say more about America than just Arab-America. What the museum and a growing number of ethnic museums across the country provide is not only a concentrated view of the history and accomplishments of a single group, but also a far larger sense of what America is.
Hopefully this evening will go off without a hitch!
Hey, thanks! Did you take this picture? I’ll be bummed if you were here and I missed you. Last night was insane! Approximately 3000 people entered the museum, and Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabeya broadcasted live inside as guests walked about. What a great way to launch a museum!
Wow…that is fantastic. Does anybody know if Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabeya have offices in Detroit?
No, I wasn’t there. Great news though!
Devon – You’re the man – congrats! We have a lot to catch up on since skipping class and talking trash at MSU. Hit me up!
