| Description | City of Detroit To Celebrate City Historian’s Anniversary with First Annual Detroit History Lecture City Historian Jamon Jordan to speak at Gordon Park, site where ’67 rebellion began DETROIT - The City’s first Official Historian, Jamon Jordan, will give his first annual lecture, the Detroit History Lesson, at Gordon Park, at the corner of Rosa Parks and Clairmount, the site of where the ’67 rebellion began. The public and media are invited to hear Jordan, who was appointed by Mayor Mike Duggan on October 25, 202, he will focus his remarks not on the violence and destruction that erupted in 1967 but on everything that happened afterward as Detroit recovered and continues to thrive. The press event and public reception begin at 12 noon Tuesday, October 25th. "The history you read in books is oftentimes not the history that is the lived experience of the people," said Mayor Mike Duggan. "When Rochelle Riley told me we needed a City Historian, I agreed and told her she need to find a historian who would tell the story of longtime Detroiters. Jamon Jordan is doing just that. He is filling a huge hole in the fabric of our community, and I couldn’t be more proud of his work." Riley, Director of Arts and Culture, said Jordan’s work has been “a tribute to his lifelong passion for history – Detroit’s, America’s and the world’s. We are blessed to have him offer constant reminders of how rich our history and culture are.” Office of Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship (Detroit ACE) announces artist selected to create statue of late Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson Statue to anchor plaza made possible by Cynthia and Edsel B. Ford II on behalf of the Henry Ford II Fund DETROIT - A judging panel has chosen the artist to create the statue of the late Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson, which will anchor the plaza also named for the war hero at Rouge Park. Austen Brantley, a self-taught, Detroit, ceramic sculptor – who will celebrate his 27th birthday October 13 – was chosen from a national field of applicants. Brantley said he wasn’t aware of his artistic ability until his junior year at Berkley High School where he was inspired by his ceramics teacher who saw his potential to succeed. Within two years, Brantley was receiving state and national recognition for his work and had held multiple solo exhibits. He has just completed statues of Negro Leagues baseball player Ernest Burke in Havre De Grace, Maryland and the civil rights hero Viola Liuzzo in Detroit. Austen had dedicated his career to making statements in his work that seek to provide a legacy for future generations. The statue, made possible by the generosity of Cynthia and Edsel B. Ford II on behalf of the Henry Ford II Fund, will anchor the new Jefferson Plaza at Rouge Park, where Jefferson flew model airplanes as a boy. “Detroit is proud to honor one of our great heroes and to give an opportunity to a Detroit artist to create a permanent tribute to his service,” said Rochelle Riley, Director of Arts and Culture who convened the judging panel. Its members were Ken Thomas, President, Tuskegee Airmen Inc. - Founding (Detroit) Chapter, Architectural Designer Karen Burton, renowned Detroit artist Tiff Massey and City of Detroit Historic Preservation specialist Jennifer Ross. The City dedicated the plaza site last November on Jefferson’s 100th birthday. He was feted by Sen. Debbie Stabenow, U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, City of Detroit Historian Jamon Jordan and fellow Tuskegee Airmen. He also received the Key to the City from City Corporation Counsel Conrad Mallett, Jr.. Detroit ACE has hired Michigan Recreational Construction to build the plaza. Award-winning artist, Austin Brantley, who has been selected to create the statue of Lt. Colonel Alexander Jefferson, which will anchor the plaza being built to honor the war hero.Jefferson was sworn into the U.S. Army Reserve 80 years ago today on September 23, 1942, but not accepted for flight training. He worked as an analytical chemist; then entered Howard University’s graduate school before applying again to the U.S. Army Air Force. Called up for flight training in April 1943, Jefferson received orders to report to Tuskegee Army Airfield to begin flight training. Training complete, he was assigned to the 332nd "Red Tail" Fighter group at Ramitelli Airfield near Foggia, Italy. He was assigned to a fighter escort wing duty protecting bombing missions. His job was to attack key ground targets and guard bombing missions against enemy Nazi Luftwaffe fighters. Jefferson’s flying unit, called Red Tails for the colors on their plane tails, escorted bombers into action in Europe – and lost so few planes that bombers requested them for flying runs. Jefferson and the Tuskegee Airman overcame segregation and prejudice to become one of the most highly respected fighter groups of World War II. They set the stage for civil rights advocates to continue the struggle to end racial discrimination during the Civil Rights Movement. Jefferson returned to civilian life in 1947, received his teaching certificate from Wayne State University, and began teaching elementary school science in the Detroit Public Schools. He received his master’s degree in education in 1954 and was appointed assistant principal in 1969. In 1995, Jefferson was enshrined in the Michigan Aviation Hall of Fame. In 2001, he was awarded the Purple Heart. Jefferson was one of the founders of the Detroit and National chapters of the Tuskegee Airmen. Jefferson Field, which was named for the airman years ago, is currently used and maintained by the Detroit Aero Modelers who fly model airplanes there. Detroit ACE, in partnership with the General Services Department (GSD) and the Department of Public Works plans the plaza and statue as a welcoming public space for youth and families to honor one of the most decorated soldiers from World War II and to learn about the heroism of the Tuskegee Airmen. The plaza project is among many Detroit ACE is undertaking to better connect artists with Detroit communities and to improve the look of neighborhoods across the city as part of Mayor Mike Duggan’s Blight to Beauty initiative. Detroit ACE joins celebration of 3rd annual Detroit Black Film Festival Festival opens Wednesday with 50th anniversary screening of the film, “Lady Sings the Blues” DETROIT - Detroit ACE is proud to partner with the Detroit Black Film Festival (DBFF) on the 3rd Annual Detroit Black Film Festival (DBFF), presented by the Ford Foundation. The festivities begin Wednesday Sept. 21, 2022, when the Motown Museum joins DBFF for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the film, “Lady Sings the Blues.” The evening features an opening night reception with filmmakers and the movie screening at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. Tickets for events and films at The Wright and the Boll Family YMCA are available first come-first served at Eventbrite Detroit Black Film Festival. “Lady Sings the Blues” is a 1972 American biographical drama directed by Sidney J. Furie about jazz singer Billie Holiday. The film starred Detroit's own Diana Ross along with Billy Dee Williams, Richard Pryor, James T. Callahan and Scatman Crothers. Ross debuted as Holiday in the film while under contract with Motown founder Berry Gordy. At the time, she was emerging as a solo artist after years with The Supremes. The film was produced by Motown Productions for Paramount Pictures. Ross was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. And the soundtrack, which featured Ross singing Holiday's songs, was a hit. Both Ross and Williams won NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Actor and Actress in a Motion Picture for their performances. DBFF co-founder Marshalle Favors said she and her husband, Lazar, chose the iconic film because “It’s a renowned classic with brilliant performances that made it to the big screen because of Motown.” Motown Museum CEO Robin Terry agreed. “Motown Museum is delighted to partner with the Detroit Black Film Festival to recognize the contributions of Black independent filmmakers,” she said. “We are particularly excited to co-host the festival’s opening event and special viewing of “Lady Sings the Blues.” Motown Museum is undergoing a multi-million-dollar expansion, and DBFF co-founder Lazar Favors said the partnership “gives us a chance to support the Motown Museum as it begins a new chapter.” This year’s festival will feature 86 films from 14 countries, including 12 made by metro Detroit filmmakers. Opening night screenings include a short film by Academy Award-winner Steve McQueen. In addition to screening great films, the festival will offer networking opportunities with filmmakers, a closing night awards ceremony and the debut of “Film Forum,” a series of roundtable dialogues with distribution companies, professional actors and other industry professionals. The DBFF is supported by the Wright, the Carr Center, the City of Detroit Office of Arts Culture & Entrepreneurship, Y Arts Detroit, the Motown Museum and Yum Village. Presented by the Ford Foundation, the 3rd annual Detroit Black Film Festival (DBFF), which was founded in 2020, continues to showcase the voices and stories of Black independent filmmakers nationwide. DBFF is dedicated to screening excellent, high-quality films from seasoned and emerging filmmakers that highlight a spectrum of stories reflecting African American experiences, narratives and culture. The festival co-directors, Lazar and Marshalle Favors also are the founders of Trinity Films Entertainment Group (TFEG), an umbrella company for the Detroit Black Film Festival. The couple is committed to working purposefully to contribute to the sustainability and economic growth of the film community in metro Detroit. “We strive to support filmmakers as artists and to provide an exceptional platform for their work,” Marshalle Favors said.

The winner is Cameron Jenkins, a 26-year-old muralist known for the 948-square foot mural on the wall of the Meijer Rivertown Market Mural on Jefferson Avenue, which was done with spray and acrylic paint. “I’m excited to get started!” Cameron said upon hearing the news. “Combining my ideas with the Farwell community is gonna be a cool way to create a dynamic, eye-catching mural that’ll channel the community’s aesthetics and stories while incorporating my natural vibrant style.” The mural is the first commissioned mural using the newly established Detroit Public Art Fund, which is generated by fees from businesses that advertise on large signs in the city. Cameron’s excitement was echoed by Councilman Scott Benson, who championed the legislation establishing the Fund, and whose office co-sponsored the community meetings. “I am excited about the residents’ selection of Cameron to bring their vision of a mural to reality,” Benson said. “This community-led public art project will be the first of many funded by the Public Art Fund.” Selection committee members said they hoped that Jenkins’ youth would inspire more young people to contribute artwork to their neighborhoods in District 3. Jenkins, in his artist statement, said he wanted the mural to “have therapeutic value for those who are healing or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves within the Farwell neighboring community,” he said. “In previous works, I’ve explored the metaphor of how “Diamonds” are formed, illustrating the strength radiated after surviving the pressures of life. I firmly want to incorporate this concept into the Farwell Rec Center project, connecting to the resilience and strength of the community.” Community members also were impressed with Jenkins’ suggesting that the mural would not be limited to paint, but also incorporate other elements to be permanently installed. And they said they appreciated that he visited the community and spoke with residents ahead of the selection. Jenkins will meet with and interview community members over the next few weeks to prepare to reveal his preliminary sketch for the project. The projected completion date for the project is the end of September.

Alley in Artist Village after Arts Alleys project. Funded by $3 Million in ARPA dollars with support from the Ford Foundation Project a key component of Mayor’s Blight to Beauty initiative Artists, alley design to be selected by residents during community engagement process Transformations to include infrastructure improvements for alleys making them renewed and able to be utilized again DETROIT – Today, Mayor Duggan and Detroit ACE announced a new initiative to transform commercial and residential alleys in five neighborhoods across the city into community gathering spaces where residents can exhibit and experience art. The project, called the Arts Alley Initiative, is funded with $3 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) approved by Detroit City Council. The Arts Alleys project, which is part of Mayor Duggan’s “Blight to Beauty” campaign, is also supported by the Ford Foundation. The Art Alleys project is being conducted first as a pilot for possible future neighborhood alley activations by residents in neighborhoods throughout the city. The Arts Alleys project will build on work already being done by community groups and neighborhood associations that have activated alleys in their neighborhoods with art and creativity. It also builds on the work being done by the city to clear brush and trash from thousands of alleys across the city. Over the past two years, alleys behind nearly 2,000 residential blocks have been cleared and reclaimed. “Alleys in our city for years have been havens for illegal dumping and overgrowth and we’re steadily changing that,” said Mayor Duggan. “Activating neighborhood alleys in this creative way is going to help turn them into real community assets and attractions.” The Detroit Arts, Culture, & Entrepreneurship Office will execute community engagement throughout key areas in the city. The five pilot Arts Alleys will be in: Jefferson Chalmers Old Redford Schulze NW Goldberg Springwells Next Steps: ACE will collaborate with residents in these areas, their neighbors and other stakeholders through the summer and fall to develop designs to overhaul an alley in each neighborhood. These transformations will bring new landscaping, improved surfacing, and amenities while partnering together with local artists and residents to imbue these improvements with a sense of history, beauty and imagination. Sidewalk Detroit, a Detroit-based, Black-owned company is currently working with the city to conduct the community engagement phase of the design process. After the design process for each alley is completed this fall, ACE will issue an RFP for general contractors in early 2023, with improvements to begin later in the year. The City’s Arts & Culture Director, Rochelle Riley said that beautified alleys will add to residents’ quality of life. “The Covid-19 pandemic showed us the importance of safe, accessible green spaces in our neighborhoods,” said Rochelle Riley, Director of Arts and Culture for the City. “We want to help communities create their own spaces for activities and enjoyment.” The objectives of this project are to spur neighborhood development and revitalization, mitigate localized flooding through low-cost stormwater management strategies, create opportunities for the creative workforce, and highlight neighborhood creativity. These spaces will become hubs for small business activations, events, and sources of pride for residents in each community.
