WXYZ DETROIT — On Sunday, May 31, a Spotlight on the News Special will explore The Henry Ford's historic "Jackson Home" and America's continued quest for voting rights. What's the significance of the massive, multi-million dollar, restoration project that will open to the public on June 12th? See and feel where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders planned the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery marches and why the home built in 1919 is now housed in a new location for tourists to visit in Dearborn's Greenfield Village. Tune in as my guests; Patricia Mooradian, President & CEO, The Henry Ford; Amber Mitchell, Curator of Black History at the museum; and Attorney Spencer Overton, the Patricia Robert Harris Research Professor of Law at George Washington University, discuss the past, present, and future of this treasure and election laws.
