Participants will learn more about important sites and issues of black history in Detroit to sensitize participants while increasing their understanding of the African American’s struggle for equality. The presentations and discussions will increase sensitivity and heighten awareness and skill building techniques for working with diverse populations. The Damon Keith Center exhibits will be the points of reference for the day’s topics and tour sites.  A set of questions and reflective exercises will be given at the beginning of the program for participants to consider throughout the day.  A narrative bus tour of sites in Detroit will increase understanding of geographic proximities of urban renewal and black history, and give a better understanding of present day Detroit. A visit to the Virgil H. Carr Center to learn more about promoting African and African American cultural arts traditions within Michigan’s multicultural community. Motown Museum will provide insight into the Civil Rights era in Detroit and nationally, including discrimination of the artists as they broke through racial borders and how their contributions have made a lasting impact on the nationally and abroad.  Participants will have discussions with prominent Detroiter’s, Bert Dearing Jr. and Andrew Pope, about their personal experiences growing up during this time in Detroit.   events@wayne.edu (Web Master) Wed, 16 May 2012 10:00:00 -0500 http://events.wayne.edu/law/2012/05/16/social-work-continuing-education-program-a-glimpse-of-detroit-s-black-histo-40833/ Wayne State University Law School - Damon J.
