"Green Book" exhibit at Gilmore Car Museum

“Green Book” exhibit at Gilmore Car Museum stirs important discussion of car travel experience for Black Americans

February 8, 2021
Racial disparities are sometimes felt more personally, if not shockingly, in the most pedestrian of objects and experiences. Here in the land of the free, automobiles have come to symbolize that fundamental image of American life more than anything else. With his Model T, Henry Ford sought to make the dream of owning a car an accessible reality to the masses. In 1953, Dinah Shore encouraged her audiences to “See the USA in your Chevrolet!” ....
FIRST Robotics Competition World Championship in Detroit

FIRST Robotics Competition World Championship gets real at Cobo Center in Detroit as 2019 season showcases winners

April 26, 2019
On January 5 of this year, FIRST Robotics Competition launch of “Destination: Deep Space” felt like a leap of faith. [1,2] Field of play was no more than a two-minute animation. Rules for scoring a seeming tossed salad of words in a 129-page instruction manual. Physical robots were not yet to the point where they could be hopefully viewed as vaguely imaginative flights of fancy. [3,4] They say that high school teams just like ours ....

Even more so when you consider the three hundred miles separating our East Michigan Avenue offices in downtown Saline from the Grand ....

Today Is “Flag Day” In The United States, And It Is An Anniversary As Well As A Vital Touchstone for All Americans

June 14, 2018
To those who wonder if “Flag Day” is an official recognition, the answer is an unambiguous yes. [1] June 14 is the date in 1777 when the Continental Congress passed its resolution that established the official flag of the United States of America. If that strikes you as a bit late in our history, it was. At the outset of the American Revolution, colonists “fought mainly under unit or regimental flags.” This is also a good ....

Saline Singularity robotics team met today, and week 3 focused on its “business” as much as anything else

January 26, 2019
As the clock approached nine this morning, several members of FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 5066 had already started arriving. In several instances, coffee mugs in hand. Someone had thoughtfully brought two boxes of fresh donut holes. [1,2] Other than having meeting space in one of the Saline High School CTE program classrooms, populated here by students, sub-team leads, and mentors, this Saline Singularity gathering could have passed for any other mainstream business meeting. It’s ....
