Return of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” to movie theaters means more than marking forty-year anniversary

August 9, 2019
There’s a large graphic dominating one of the walls in “Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds” currently at The Henry Ford, along the bottom setting out chronology of related television incarnations.

According to the Pew Research Center, nine out of ten Americans say they celebrate Christmas. How they do so and what that means to each person individually is a different matter.
