Detroit inspiration

The incredible, 94 year old Grace Lee Boggs came to speak with us today. She was part of a really wonderful panel discussion on race and class in Detroit. All of the speakers were extremely articulate, inspiring, and and extremely innovative in their ideas. My dad, aunt, and uncle all worked with Grace in the 70's, so it was really exciting to meet her.

We went to Cranbrook later in the day on a bus tour of the Detroit suburbs. The artist and educational community is situated in this beautiful enclave. It was so relaxing to be in that calming environment, and I love all of the arts and crafts details in the wood, windows, and overall design. The site was designed mostly by the Saarinens from Findland in the early part of the 20th century, and it was really quite beautiful.
