50th Anniversary Freedom Walk

Today's Freedom Walk down Woodward marks the 50th anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech. His words were first spoken in Detroit, before he gave the famous delivery in Washington DC. You can get your t-shirts at the NAACP Headquarters on Second Street at Seward. The Detroit office of the NAACP --the largest branch in the nation--celebrated their 100th year in 2012. The walk begins at 9am at Woodward and Forest ending with a rally in Hart Plaza.

Woodward Dream Cruise

Tomorrow is the world's largest one day classic car event and it takes place from 9am to 9pm over 16 miles on Woodward from 8 Mile in Detroit all the way to Pontiac. Feast your eyes on 40,000 different restored muscle cars, collector vehicles and custom hot rods of various vintages. Over 1,000,000 visitors attend this Motor City party which takes place on the third Saturday of August. There is no charge to parade your automobile up and down the avenue nor to sit on the sidelines and take it all in. The weather forecast?-- gorgeous!
