AROUND THE CITY

Black History is American History! At the Wright Museum every month is Black History month, but especially during the month of February. The mu-seum will be open 7 days a week during February including Mondays and its programs and exhibits are both educational and exciting. “Black History Month is always an exciting time at The Wright,” said Delisha

Upshaw, senior director of marketing and communications. “Black history is American history. It’s critical that we all understand the past in order to create and share a bright future. The Wright’s exhibitions, educational work-shops, and public program options provide an opportunity to know and share our collective history.”This year the Black History designation will celebrate 93 years, what began

as Black History week in 1926 is now Black History Month. And in Detroit, Black History Month would be incomplete without the mention of one of our greatest treasures, the Charles Wright Museum of African American History. The museum should be and is the centerpiece of pride for not just the city

of Detroit, but the State of Michigan. It’s now the world’s second largest in-stitution dedicated to the African American experience, and its right in the heart of the Detroit Cultural Center. The Wright Museum is Black History that is unduplicated in any other city in the world except Washington D.C.’s new Smithsonian Museum. The story behind this magnificent structure is even more astonishing than

one could imagine. The museum became a reality because of one man’s dream to document the history of African Americans in this country, Dr. Charles H. Wright, a Detroit Obstetrician, who founded the museum in 1965. Dr. Wright was a humble, soft spoken, unassuming man. And when talking

with him and interacting with him, one would never guess that he was the same Dr. Charles H. Wright that took a dream and made it a reality when he opened the first Museum of African American History. Quiet Hero is such an appropriate description of this gentle, but outspoken giant. February is the month when all of us, it doesn’t matter what race or culture,

have a perfect opportunity to learn, expand our knowledge and grow. You don’t have to search for knowledge, Just look around you. It’s everywhere…TV, radio, newspapers, classrooms, and special events. All you really need to do is open your mind. Here are a just a couple of the February special events at the Wright:Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. - Decolonizing the Mind: A Community Workshop. Speaker: Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Ph.D. Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. - George Washington & Ona Judge, His Runaway Slave. Speaker: Erica Armstrong Dunbar, Ph.D. The Wright Museum houses over 35,000 artifacts and archival materials,

and offers more than 300 public programs and events annually. For info, call (313) 494-5800 or thewright.org. The Wright Museum is lo-

cated at 315 E. Warren Ave. in Greater Detroit's Cultural Center.

Senior Expo at the Detroit Institute of Arts

On Monday, March 4, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., The Senior Expo at the Detroit Institute of Arts will be presented by Meritus Communities and Blue Cross And Blue Shield of Michigan. The Senior Expo is a free one day event that will connect Seniors and Car-

egivers with more than fifty (50) organizations that specialize in assis-tance and care for seniors, including; assisted living, Alzheimer’s informa-tion, home care, Veterans benefits, mobility solutions, Medicare and more. There will be prizes, plenty of giveaways plus, free bagels and coffee.The Detroit Institute of Arts will be open to expo attendees who can enjoy

museum activities throughout the day.Complimentary transportation to the museum is available for groups of

(25) or more in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties. To book, call (313) 833-2981 by February 15. A lighted, secured parking lot is located east of the DIA. Located on John R. St., south of Kirby St. and north of Warren Ave. Daily parking rate is $7; cash and credit cards are accepted.For more information, see gazetteevents.com/dia-attendee-page, or call

Ruth's Music NotesRuth Crystal-Zaromp

SYMPHONIC NEWS

At long last, after those extremely cold tem-peratures, the weather changed abruptly to one that we can bear. This week, the classical music series are at their peak and we should be able to enjoy them for a change.Beginning with Ker-

rytown Concert House, we note that on Friday evening, February 8, at 8 p.m., Julia Siciliano (pic-tured), piano, will be pre-senting a program titled variations on Mi Patria. She will be performing

classical music of her two current homes, Ann Ar-bor and Basque Country (Spain), and of her heri-

tage of Italy. I have heard Julia Siciliano on a few occasions at the Scarab Club in Detroit series performing on the Pleyel piano. On this (correction from

the last) Saturday night, February 9 at 8 p.m., Zu-bin Mehta and the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing at the Hill Auditorium.The program begins

with a Concertino for String Orchestra by Is-raeli composer Oedoen Partos. Partos was born in

Hungary and was well-known as a violist and composer in Israel. I have

listened to some of his compositions and I find them to be very accom-modating.The program on Sat-

urday will also include Schubert’s Third Sym-phony in D Major, D.200, and Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony I b Minor, Op. 74 (titled, Pathetique). Mehta has declared this

year to be his last as mu-sic director of the IPO. He will be missed. Ironically, he presented his last pro-gram in Israel while I was on vacation there a few weeks ago, but couldn’t fit it into my schedule, so I am looking forward to that second chance.The DSO this month is

performing its winter festival American Pan-orama at Orchestra Hall. Leonard Slatkin will be conducting. This begins on Friday, Feb. 8, 10:45 a.m., and 8 p.m., with works by Morton Gould’s Star-Spangled Overture, followed by Joan Tow-er’s Sequoia, Bernstein’s Three Meditations from his Mass, Thomson’s Suite from the Plow that Broke the Plains, and Grofe’s Grand Canyon Suite. John Williams will be

celebrated on Saturday, Feb. 9, 8 p.m., and Sunday Feb. 10, 3 p.m. Included are three pieces by John Williams – Book Thief, Oboe Concerto, and Film Music. For more informa-tion, check dso.org. On Tuesday, February

12, 7 p.m., the Steinway Gallery (Route 5 and Ma-ple Road), Detroit Sym-phony Orchestra musi-cians will be continuing the American Festival

with a chamber music program.Performing will be Hai

Xin Wu, violin, Jiamin Wang, violin, Hang Su, viola, Abraham Feder, cello, and Zhihua Tang, piano.

The Steinway Gallery has been providing sev-eral exceptional cham-ber music programs and is scheduled to continue with this in the future ([email protected]).

Foot Health Today

DR. JAMES SCHELBERG

PODOGERIATRICS QUESTION: What are some of the special concerns regarding the feet of older people?

ANSWER: PODOGERIATRICS treats the foot problems of older people who are often troubled by chronic, progressive or degenerative disorder requiring Podiatric help. The Podiatrist is interested in any loss of sensitivity to heat, cold, pain or touch. How about healing? Does it take too long for a bruise, abrasion or cut to heal? How much padding remains on the soles? Walking on

PODIATRIST

the bones with a thin layer of skin between feet and ground could cause bruising and calluses. The Podiatr ist often wil l prescribe correctly fitted shoes and/or or thot ic inser ts or compensate for changes caused by age.

Mark Slobin, author, renowned ethno-musicologist and educator at Wesleyan University, will present his latest book Motor City Music: A Detroiter Looks Back, at Book Beat on Sunday, February 17, at 3 p.m. Slobin was born in wartime Detroit

and grew up with classical and folk music backgrounds. Motor City Music is the first-ever historical study across all musical genres in any American me-tropolis. Detroit in the 1940's-60's was not just the capital of the twentieth cen-tury for industry and the war effort, but also for the quantity and extremely high quality of its musicians, from jazz to classical to ethnic. Motor City Music surveys the neighbor-

hoods of older European immigrants and of the later huge waves of black and white southerners who migrated to De-troit to serve the auto and defense in-dustries. Jazz stars, polka band leaders, Jewish

violinists, and figures like Lily Tomlin emerged. Institutions, from the Ford Motor Company and the United Auto Workers through radio stations and Motown, all deployed music to bring to-

gether a city torn by relentless segregation, policing, and spasms of violence. The voices of Detroit’s poets, writers, and artists round out the chorus.Call (248) 968-1190 to reserve a book or for more information. Book Beat is lo-

cated at 26010 Greenfield in Oak Park.
