MCHR, Detroit’s CRIO Department, the ACLU, and WSU are bringing four days of civil rights history, community education, and hands-on learning to Metro Detroit youth this July and August.

The Michigan Coalition for Human Rights (MCHR) Freedom Tour is a program that takes Metro Detroit youth out of the classroom to where civil rights history was made.

Mayor Mary Sheffield’s first State of the City address happened this Tuesday March 31, 2026. She shared her “Rise Higher” vision to Detroiters and what the next year will bring.
