In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World by Rachel Doležal, Part Four
Book: In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World
Authors: Rachel Doležal and Storms Reback
Comments: Now begins Part Four of my look at Rachel Doležal's very ill-advised book. If you find her as interesting as I do, be sure to check out Part One, Part Two and Part Three.
As I went over my notes after reading Rachel Doležal's book, I had no intention of writing a multi-part article series discussing her book. But I found myself marveling at the way her mind works and I just couldn't stop digging. Most of the time, when a person pens a memoir, that person has developed a certain amount of self-awareness and can analyze their actions and their motives as they make sense of their life. There are shallow celebrity memoirs that are just cash grabs and are meant to support the reality show trainwreck of the moment or take advantage of some celebrity scandal. I don't think anyone is reading the memoirs from all the women in the Real Housewives franchise with an eye to understanding what makes them tick or to see if they understand the Faustian bargain they've engaged in, trading away their privacy and dignity for reality show compensation. You're reading those books because your layover in O'Hare is four hours and you have time to kill.
Not so with this sort of memoir, or at least I'd hoped this would be different. Rachel Doležal was and is still involved in a serious look at how race is constructed and perceived in the United States. She engaged in what most of us believe is a long-scale hoax and in so doing outraged blacks, people of mixed race, and to a lesser extent transexuals and surely the reaction caused her to experience moments of deep contemplation wherein she came to grips with who she is, who she thinks she is, and who she wants to be. Moreover, Rachel Doležal is a well-educated woman. She has a Master's degree, is well-read within her specific interests, and one presumes she is intelligent enough to know when she is bullshitting herself. One presumes wrong.
Even as Rachel lauds blackness as something that makes her life fuller, causing her to feel more alive and more connected to the world, she devalues blackness with stereotypes and commercial interpretations of black beauty and worth. As she derides "white saviors" she has no awareness that she is herself engaging in such antics. I will later tackle the topic of "Rachel Will Never Get It" but much of what I discuss here today can also be subfiled under that heading. She just doesn't see herself and her actions with any sort of clarity nor can she realize when she is stepping onto ground that is not hers to occupy.
Rachel Sees Blacks as Exotic "Others"
It doesn't require me to walk out on a limb to state that Rachel Doležal sees black people as an exotic other, making a fetish of certain ethnic appearances and engaging in stereotyping that should have given pause to any woman who chose to be black because she feels black.
It started innocently enough when she was a child. As as I discussed in Part One, as a child she engaged in escapist fantasies, creating an "other" life for herself to help her cope with her miserable childhood, and she began to prefer the appearances of blacks over white people.
To me, the images of the Black athletes I found on the pages of the magazines were the very height of human beauty. Their complexions, their hair, their features, they were all so captivating to me. Florence Griffith Joyner, aka "Flo Jo," and Jackie Joyner-Kersee became my idols.
Given the mores of the time when Rachel engaged in her childish fantasies, this is not that bad. Finding beauty in black athletes and accomplished black women compared to the insipidness of her life in Montana is not outlandish.
Stories of African life, for a girl who grew up without television, became an important source of entertainment.
Even though I was ten years old, Fabian was the first Black person I'd ever met, and this, combined with his regal manner, made him seem like a king to me. I found even the most mundane stories he told about life in Africa riveting.
This fetishization of another culture, a culture perceived to be better than the United States or one's current time in history, is common. I dreamed of living in Victorian England during my teens and as a child I fantasized about being Laura Ingalls Wilder because I spent many hours as a child reading the Little House on the Prairie series. As an overworked only child with parents whose terrible marriage alienated all of us from the world around us, I liked pretending I lived in a place where parents were a team and loving, where I had sisters who worked beside me and who ran barefoot alongside me as we raced to the creek to fish. I bet lots of unhappy kids do this but you don't really even need to be unhappy to engage in this sort of fantasy. We see this with so-called "weeaboos," kids who adore all that is Japanese. Sometimes that cultural adoration becomes pathological but we seldom end up with people willing to engage in a sort of whole life cosplay like Rachel engages in.
The longer Rachel immersed herself in black history, the more she lost sense of who she really was – a biologically white girl. She worked very hard, admirably in my opinion, to make sure her younger black siblings learned about a black culture they would otherwise have been deprived of knowing about.
A funny thing happened while I was teaching my younger siblings about Black culture and history: I began to feel even more connected to it myself. I began to see the world through Black eyes, and anything that had to do with Blackness or Africa always grabbed my attention.
I suspect this was a crossroads of sorts, the time when Rachel left the realm of childish escapism and entered into the realm of self-deception that lead to wholesale deception.
Take this quote that becomes stranger to me each time I read it:
Blackness to me was bold, beautiful, and empowered.
She fantasized about being a black orphan struggling to feed her family. She read books with black characters and felt indignation at the suffering they experienced. She saw firsthand the racism, even down to the microaggressions, her siblings endured, and she found blackness to be bold and empowering? Those black athletes she admired were just one element of the black experience in the United States but it seems like in order to make the leap from the treatment of blacks in literature and in real life to seeing blackness as an entirely empowered experience, she had to eliminate the negative experiences and focus on what she specifically found beautiful.
This was easy for her to do because she was white and never suffered racism, no matter how much her sense of victimization allowed her to identify with blacks. I assert that there are three layers to Rachel Doležal's experience of blackness: facile identification with black suffering that she recreated throughout her life to achieve a level of martyrdom, recognition of black suffering that she as a white woman felt she was better able to address than blacks, and extreme love of the esthetics of blackness. The latter may be unavoidable – her entire artistic life expresses what she believes is the black experience. Nothing wrong with that – plenty of white people study African culture, history and art and teach others about the topics. The problem comes when that admiration of esthetics becomes an exoticism mixed with stereotypes that overlooks the reality of individual black people.
For instance, she just loved the bad side of town when she lived in college:
Rich white people considered the neighborhood in which Antioch and the Pollard's house was located to be "the bad part of town." To me it felt like home.
Home in how Rachel perceived poor blacks to live, that's what she meant by home. Never mind that many black people would love not to have to live in parts of towns that are "bad sides of town." There is no way to read this other than this was a white girl slumming, enjoying a life grittier than she experienced in Troy, Montana.
Speaking of a college roommate who was black:
That I had rhythm while she did not, that she was uptight while I was chill, and that she dated white guys while I had dated two Black guys made us the butt of a running joke. People often said that I was a Black girl in a white body and Kim was a white girl in a black body.
Why is Rachel engaging in such stereotypes, never mind engaging in them with such pride, if she is trying to end racist perceptions of black people and encourage social justice? I posit it is because she is preoccupied with the appearance of blackness she idealized and was very happy when others recognized her efforts. Compared to a black friend, she was the better black woman, according to the stereotypes about blackness that she deemed important enough to matter. Remember in Part Three where Rachel derides two black girls in Idaho as not knowing they were black because they did not adhere to the behaviors Rachel felt indicated blackness. Rachel, a white woman, always feels she is the arbiter of blackness, and her version of blackness is a very limiting one.
Then there's this, and I admit it's subtle but read it and bear with me:
I've never had any surgeries or alterations done to change my appearance. I didn't do any invasive makeup contouring. I'm a low-budget, low-maintenance woman. I liked to get a tan and occasionally used bronzer and I spent a lot of time on my hair, and with my somewhat broad nose, somewhat full lips, and somewhat curvy figure, that was enough to push the public's perception of me from white girl to "mixed chick."
Here Rachel is telling us her perception of the idealized black woman – bronzed skin, full lips, wide nose, full and curvy body. This is a specific interpretation of a specific type of black beauty, especially in the United States. Dark, but not too dark, lips that white girls try to achieve with plumpers and stupid shot-glass challenges, curvy bodies that are now in vogue causing girls who idealize these thicker frames to eat a bit more while doing plenty of squats. This is the current Madison Avenue portrayal of acceptable blackness. Absent from this vision of acceptable blackness is a large chunk of women on the African continent and a large chunk of black women in the USA. To Rachel her appearance read as "mixed chick," not unlike women like Amber Rose. What would Rachel have looked like when outed as white had the contemporary American culture focused on women like Soledad O'Brien as the ideal "mixed chick." Would she have tamed her hair and lined her lips to make them look smaller? It's hard to say but it just so happened that the face that Rachel looked at every day in the morning was easily adapted into an image society recognized as black yet was still very pleasing to her.
Rachel almost seems to have a chip on her shoulder regarding darker-skinned black women.
Darker black women, on the other hand, had become one of the primary voices of opposition against me, calling the way I identified "the ultimate white privilege."
You see, these women don't have the idealized, sanitized, acceptable face of blackness that Rachel assumed. They don't have the option of returning to whiteness – which Rachel can do any time she wants no matter how much she protests to the contrary – and they don't have the weight of advertising and social acceptance making popular their appearance in mainstream white culture. That could change. Fashion is fickle. But ultimately these darker women may have felt a certain amount of bile realizing that this white girl who had assumed a black identity based on her idealized version of their reality was trying to tell them how to be black. File this under "Rachel Will Never Get It" as well. The only experience that matters is hers, and that experience is based on her assuming the commodified, socially "pretty" elements of blackness.
There were moments in this book where I was left stunned with what I had read. Seriously, if this is not the most… fucked up thing in this book I'm not sure what is. Just drink this in.
I didn't work for the cause from the outside as a white ally, but from the inside as a Black leader, someone who was eager to not only model the philosophy of a great activist like Angela Davis but sport similarly textured hair as well.
I dare you to find a more obnoxious line in a biography this year. I absolutely dare you. Let's just ignore Rachel comparing herself to Angela Davis in terms of accomplishment and legitimacy and look at what she's focusing on – Davis' Afro hair style. Having natural hair is an issue for black women – straighteners and pressure to conform to a white standard of beauty causes black women to spend lots of money and time to achieve a look pleasing to whites, especially in the workplace. Rachel recognizes that the way black women are often forced into assuming styles inappropriate to their hair type makes them feel unattractive or inadequate in some manner.
But as Rachel wanted to appear like she was modeling Angela Davis' philosophy, she wanted to have her hairstyle, too. One very much gets the impression that Rachel was wearing a costume, a black liberator cosplay. There is no way to see this other than a fetishization of blackness. It doesn't hurt that activists like Angela Davis and Assata Shakur are popular in the social justice circles online. As Che Guevara was popular a decade ago among leftists, we now see people sporting t-shirts with Davis and Shakur on them. There is a shallow affiliation with these two activists and one wonders if Rachel would have been as enamored with emulating Davis if she did not have the cachet she currently has or if her look was not so iconic. Shirley Chisholm and Septima Clark were pretty badass women who accomplished a lot for black people – one wonders if Rachel would have wanted to emulate the look of an activist whose image doesn't appear on posters in college freshman dorm rooms.
Also at play in this bizarre statement is a subtle jab at other black female activists. Rachel was going to become black and behave in the manner of Angela Davis, down to her hairstyle, unlike the rest of those black leaders who didn't wear an Afro (or braids, or dreadlocks, or any of the other hairstyles Rachel Doležal deems black enough).
Rachel as the White Savior
As you read Rachel's book, after a while, even with a positive spin, it's clear she sees herself as a sort of savior to black people. She may not see herself as a white savior but she is white and she has a savior complex, one so profound that at times she comes across so grandiose that you almost can't believe what you are reading. She has all the markings of a white savior – she's more knowledgeable than those she seeks to help and she is invariably condescending. And like most white saviors, she is blissfully unaware of how holier-than-thou she is. This is her life mission and if those she seeks to help don't want her help, well, she'll keep helping anyway.
Her white savior complex began early. Here she is reacting to Beyond Charity: The Call to Christian Community Development, which she read as a teen:
It took the wraps off the sort of cheap Christian charity I was all too familiar with, and showing how flawed and outdated the model of the "white savior" rescuing the "noble Black savage" was. It also encouraged its readers to go beyond giving sympathy (and yes, charity), asking them to do the kind of meaningful, hands-on work that might lead to some actual change.
So she has a model for what real work is and how to avoid being a condescending do-gooder yet even in retrospect she cannot see how she fell short. She made her advocacy about her, hid her real identity and ended up doing far more harm than good.
Rachel had the paternalistic sense that black people could not be held accountable for their actions. She, as the woman who knows in her heart she is white, felt the need to protect black men even as she claims she fell prey to them. After being raped by a wealthy black man:
I didn't want to cast a spotlight on myself knowing that many people would think of me as white and fixate on the idea that a Black man had raped a white woman, when the rape had clearly been about power, money, and gender, not race. I dropped the charges.
So let's look at this: she was drugged and raped by a rich black man, but because she didn't want to risk people convicting him on the basis of his race because she is indeed a white woman, she did nothing. Is that genuine activism or do-gooder white guilt? Maybe it's something else entirely but it sort of reeked of "black men shouldn't be held accountable for crimes if the victim is white," which is ultimately a very patronizing mindset.
Before this, as an undergraduate she refused to report a student at Belhaven for sexually harassing her.
As aggressive as his advances were, I didn't report them. The deck was already stacked against the Black students on our predominately white campus, and I didn't want to make life harder for Clarence.
Hopefully his real name isn't Clarence but again do black men need this white woman pretending to be a black woman protecting them from themselves? The fact is that if I were a black parent I would never involve the police in anything to do with my children or any sort of basic non-violent dispute. I can also see why a black woman might be reluctant to press charges for harassment (less so on rape). But there's this cloying sense that the nice white lady is just looking out for those poor black men, a sort of demeaning colonial attitude that one's lessers should be protected from the consequences of their actions.
She is so lacking in self-awareness:
Tired of seeing white people taking center stage all the time, I wanted to use my art skills to offer a more equitable and compassionate treatment of Black culture.
Honestly, there is no need to discuss this one, is there?
What Rachel can never seem to ask herself is whether or not her voice was or is needed in the black community, or even wanted, for that matter. Her destiny is not the destiny of black people in the United States and it is troubling how she refuses to see that she has no place on the black side of the civil rights movement. She has no notion that she needs to be an "ally," whatever that means at the moment, that she needs to stay in her lane and affect change from her position as a white woman. Her refusal to see that the civil rights movement does not need her and is moving along well without her is… interesting.
…I just wanted to live my life the way that felt most comfortable to me without having to answer a million questions about it. I wanted to focus my energy on more important issues like the work that needed to be done to create a more just society.
She didn't need to focus her energy on making a living wage, keeping her sons safe, keeping herself safe – nope, she needed to work to create societal justice. As a white woman pretending to be a black woman.
No one ever worked harder for the black cause.
One minute I was working 24/7 in support of racial justice, and the next I only had one job left: explaining and justifying my very existence on the planet.
Such a short passage and just seething with white entitlement. Don't you see how hard she's worked for you all? All day and all night she toiled for all the black people and now she's expected to be held accountable for all her lies? And all the black people have to be wondering who the hell asked her to take up the mantle of racial justice in the first place.
Here was her reaction when asked to resign from the NAACP:
It didn't hurt because I lost a title or a line on my resume. It hurt because it meant that I wouldn't be able to finish the work I'd started and that I'd be cut off from all the people I'd been trying to help.
Whatever will all those poor black folk do without Rachel there to lead them?
Rachel was going to appear as Keynote Speaker at the Africana Education graduation ceremony in 2015 but the school disinvited her after the shit hit the fan. This was her reaction to the news she was not welcome:
I'd done much more than simply teach these students. I'd mentored them, helped them file discrimination complaints, braided their hair, and stood alongside them protesting police brutality and racial injustice. The speech I was scheduled to give that evening was my opportunity to give them the sendoff they deserved.
She braided their hair. I am gobsmacked to read this. We already know about Rachel's interest bordering on fixation with black hair. But what the hell is a college professor doing braiding a student's hair? How weird and… inappropriate is it for a professor in college to involve herself in her students' grooming? And let's worry about how these poor students can go out in the world without a sendoff from their professor, rather than, you know, worry about the value of their degree once employers find out a serial fraud was their professor. Not even Hugo Schwyzer was this self-absorbed. He didn't care but at least he had the self-awareness to fake it. Not Rachel.
Rachel was so secure in her knowledge that she, white girl in black face, was doing endless good that she genuinely felt like the media was supposed to be sympathetic to her and felt that their negative attitude or refusal to believe her tales was racism and not a genuine journalistic reaction when her claims didn't match the facts of the story.
Whether it was coming from white supremacists or city officials, I felt bullied, and the local media were hardly sympathetic to my plight. That nearly all of them were white and catered to a predominately white audience was certainly a factor. I'd noticed the same bias when it came to reporting the deaths of Black men at the hands of police.
Rachel believes her mindset as a black woman in a white body is the most important perspective and therefore any refusal to accept everything she says is racist and bullying. Interesting how she compares the media not treating her with necessary deference to refusing to report on black men murdered by the police. As if the two have anything approaching the same weight in terms of gravitas and importance, but to a white savior the actual suffering they see is often less important than their recognition of being the white angel that notices the suffering.
And with this ends Part 4. Tune in tomorrow for Part 5, where I will discuss text in the book that shows that Rachel doesn't see that some of the enmity she has earned is based on her very negative personality and not racism and how Rachel's own perception of herself is often comically informed by her whiteness.

One thought on "In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World by Rachel Doležal, Part Four"
Dr. Mabuse says:
I've never seen anyone who can so effortlessly fight on both sides of the barricades. You mention her giving a pass to a black student who harassed her in college. Yet when her son was verbally harassed in high school she tried to convince the school administrators to conduct consciousness-raising sessions not with just the offending student, but ALL the white students. Her argument was that letting young people get away with bad behavior now would only set them up for more serious consequences – maybe even prison – later on. She can't see that that was exactly what she did herself, only because the perpetrator was black, she regards her hypocrisy as generous and virtuous.


These are difficult times and every small business (and large one) needs to find ways to save money and time without delivering less value to their customers. Service to customers must be maintained, and product or service value is the key to continued business. So what can you do?
Here are 20 tips that are proven time or money savers. Time is money so the two savings are combined here. Since many small businesses are operated out of home offices, these will also save money and/or time at home. Choose the ones that work for you and start saving now.
If you don't need something, don't buy it — no matter how great the deal is. There's no right price for something you don't really need. Learn the typical promotional cycles-clearance sales in January (before the retailers' fiscal year end), for example. Buy office products when the ones you need are on sale-plan ahead. Buy non-perishable holiday supplies after the holiday, and save money next year.
Do the simple jobs yourself instead of hiring it done. Janitorial services charge more if you have them empty wastebaskets and replace liners every day. Few people fill wastebaskets daily, some don't in a week. Tell everyone where the dumpster is and have them plan to dump their trash while on another trip. Ditto for window washing. It's nice to have clean windows, but staying in business is nicer.
Switch bank accounts to the places where they offer free, unlimited check writing, no fees on accounts, etc. Shop around and see whose deal is best. If you plan to keep a healthy balance in any account, ask where it can be parked to earn interest and swept to the checking account when needed.
Use email to set up phone calls and avoid frustrating phone tag. Tell the person what you want to talk about, and whether you need a decision from them, information, or just a discussion.
Use the camera on your cell phone to document mishaps. Photos of the damage, an accident, the site where it happened, etc. can be invaluable if a dispute arises or an insurance claim needs to be filed.
Don't argue on email. It is damaging, counterproductive and usually escalates an argument instead of resolving it. Meet face to face (first choice) or talk person to person on the phone. Assume that you can and will resolve the argument and say so-that alone goes a long way to resolving it. Don't print emails unless you need a hard copy for some good reason – it just wastes paper, ink, time and money.
Buy private label goods where the store guarantees them or will replace them with brand names if you are dissatisfied. Kroger and OfficeMax both do this. Wal-Mart will match any competitor's advertised deal-but bring the ad along. Compare prices and learn who has the best deals, on what.
Pay attention to which service stations seem to always have the best gas prices and plan fill ups. If there is a loyalty program with a grocery store, wait to fill up until you can use a discount for more gallons of gas. Negotiate with your favorite gas station if you are a heavy user, or have a fleet of vehicles. Ask for a discount-they are often available. Use the right grade of gas for best mileage and don't be a "lead foot," it's not a race.
Take advantage of gift cards sold in stores with such programs (Giant Eagle is one such chain). You can buy a $1,000 worth of stuff at Home Depot with two $500 gift cards purchased at Giant Eagle and save a lot on future gas purchases at Giant Eagle.
Plan trips, in fact, plan all activities, to avoid doubling back or traveling further than necessary. Think of making a loop, hitting all the stops and ending up where you want to be. Arrange the pickups/dropoffs in an order that takes you out & back in the loop, not in & out, back and forth. You'll save time, fuel, wear & tear on vehicles-and money.
Accumulate similar tasks and do them in a group. Often the "make ready time" is a sizable part of the job, so whether its paying bills, returning calls, mailings, filing or whatever-group the work then "knock it out." Assembly lines in plants are efficient because they combine work in the best way.
Small talk is nice, but it wastes time. Discussing the weather is the most common time waster. If you need to bond with someone ask about family, fun or favorite sports team. Otherwise, get on with business. That includes Texts and Twitter Tweets, unless there is a valid reason for them.
Don't hold a meeting without an agenda, a time frame, and a statement of what is to be accomplished (information exchange, decision, next steps by whom and when, etc.)  Take notes and record who will do what by when — then follow up. It's a powerful time saving habit.
Don't write long letters or emails if short ones will do. Ditto voicemails. What's the subject, what do you need (info, help, meet, etc.), when can you be reached with a call-back?
Don't use the "reply to all" function. It just makes more emails for everyone else to read, wasting time. Occasionally an embarrassing email goes to someone who shouldn't get it — and that can cause big trouble.
Electronically consolidate all of your calendar, contact information, etc. on a "smart phone" which is backed up to your computer (in case of loss or damage). Preferably choose a smart phone will also do email, text messaging and have web access; most can also serve as a calculator, camera and alarm clock … and more. Print out your calendar and address book once in a while, and put it in a safe place — just in case.
Turn off lights when no one's around. (It doesn't cost more to turn lights on and off. It costs more to leave them on). Turn off copiers; unplug chargers, shut down computers over night. All use electricity even when idle. Use compact fluorescent bulbs or the new LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs — they use less electricity and pay off in savings over a few years. Use timers (or motion sensor) to turn lights off — or on — when appropriate.
Turn down the thermostat (or up) — one degree makes a difference; 2-3 saves more. In winter, wear heavier clothing; in summer, dress cooler. Use a programmable thermostat-reduce heat and A/C use when gone or sleeping. Reduce water heater temperature settings; run only full loads in washers, dryers & dishwashers. Maintain your HVAC, and it can save you money. A humidifier in winter keeps the air feeling warmer, and reduces health problems due to winter dryness. Maintain furnace filters — change (or clean) them regularly.
Negotiate a bundle of your phone & electronic communications. You get a better deal buying Internet, Phone and Data (and cable or satellite TV too, if you need it) from one source. Shop around. Cell phones added to a plan and bundled minutes are very economical. Call and ask for a better deal. If you need to keep a "wired phone line" negotiate that deal too. If they can't find one, talk to the department that keeps people from switching via price concessions (AT&T's is called "Retention").
Use coupons and deals aggressively for office products. Some superstores will begin sending them every month. Other stores will honor them even if expired. Plan your purchases to maximize the savings-but only buy stuff you need. Use affinity plans that give you discounts too. Shop at super-discount places like Aldi Foods that sell house brands or generics. Many are made by major manufacturers and are as good as brand name goods. There are many coupon websites, and most major manufacturers, and some retailers have coupons too.
Finally, smile a lot and keep an upbeat attitude. Make "saving time and money" into "fun." Give recognition to employees who find new ways of saving money. A "certificate" and praise — in front of peers — are very valuable motivators.
If the people you work with see you with a positive, can do attitude, that's contagious. Try it — it works.


Black walnut hulls offer safe worm intervention, in both humans and animals, but is not intended for chronic or long term use. Black walnut hulls can be used conveniently in tincture form. A handful of fresh leaves, boiled in milk, can be taken early in the morning, fasting, for 3 days or more until the case in cured.
Black walnut offers symptomatic worm intervention that is generally safer and kinder to the host animal than most other herbal wormers.

Bill Text - SB-189 Fort Ord Reuse Authority: member agencies: land use and zoning: dissolution.
An act to amend Sections 67652, 67655, 67660, and 67700 of, to add Section 67701 to, and to repeal Sections 67661, 67662, 67673, 67675.2, 67675.3, 67675.4, 67675.5, 67675.6, 67675.7, 67675.8, 67675.9, and 67690 of, the Government Code, and to add Section 33492.79 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to military base reuse.
SB 189, as amended, Monning. Fort Ord Reuse Authority: member agencies: land use and zoning: dissolution.
This bill would reduce the size of the board from 13 members to 5 members and eliminate representation for certain cities. The bill would require the vote of a majority of the total membership of the board to pass or act upon any matter properly before the board.
(2) Existing law authorizes representatives of certain entities to serve as ex officio, nonvoting members of the board and authorizes the board to appoint or remove additional ex officio members at its pleasure. Existing law authorizes the board to appoint advisory committees to provide it with options, critique, analysis, and other information as it finds useful.
After adoption of a reuse plan by the board, existing law requires each county or city with territory occupied by Fort Ord to submit its general plan or amended general plan that meets certain requirements, or subsequent amendments to a certified plan, to the board and requires the board, after a noticed public hearing, to certify or refuse to certify the portion of the general plan that applies the territory of Fort Ord, as provided. Existing law similarly provides for the submission and review by the board of the county's or city's zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, and, where necessary, other implementing actions applicable to the territory of Fort Ord. Existing law provides that development review authority, with certain exceptions, is exercised by the applicable county or city, but prohibits a local agency from permitting, approving, or otherwise allowing a development or other change of use within the area of Fort Ord that is not consistent with the reuse plan adopted by the board. Existing law authorizes the board to review actions of each member agency regarding planning, zoning, and the issuance or denial of building permits within the area of Fort Ord, subject to specified limitations.
Existing law provides specific procedures regarding the preparation of an environmental impact report on the Fort Ord Reuse Plan that apply in the event that an environmental impact statement on the closure and reuse of Fort Ord has been filed pursuant to the federal National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
Existing law authorizes the board to receive contributions from member agencies represented on the board. Existing law requires each member agency and each public agency represented by an ex officio member to contribute specified amounts to the authority.
This bill would repeal all of these provisions.
(3) Under existing law, the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Act becomes inoperative when the board makes a specified determination regarding the development or reuse of the territory of Fort Ord or on June 30, 2020, whichever occurs first. Existing law repeals the act on January 1, 2021. Existing law requires the Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission to provide for the orderly dissolution of the authority, as provided.
This bill would, instead, make the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Act inoperative on June 30, 2022, and repeal the act on January 1, 2023. The bill would require the authority to negotiate and secure successor agencies for all obligations under the transition plan no later than June 30, 2022. The bill would require the Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission to provide for the orderly dissolution of the authority once an agreement with a successor agency has been finalized. The bill would require the transfer of specified revenues of the authority to the County of Monterey for disbursement to each underlying land use jurisdiction on a pro rata basis. The bill would specify that any financial obligation of the authority to which the County of Monterey succeeds as a result of the disbursement of remaining revenues or the retirement of debt does not constitute a debt or liability of the county, or any other member agency.
This bill, on and after July 1, 2020, would authorize the authority to take specified actions regarding its dissolution, including implementing the transition plan and collecting and disbursing specified revenues. The bill would authorize an underlying land use jurisdiction to adopt a substitute funding mechanism in lieu of the community facilities district established for the Fort Ord area if the jurisdiction commits to continue funding specified regional needs. The bill would also deem the transition plan to be within the scope of a specified categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act.
(4) Existing law establishes procedures for the establishment and operation of all redevelopment project areas created within the area previously known as Fort Ord. Existing law, upon dissolution of the authority, requires that amounts allocated under a redevelopment plan that contains a provision for the division of taxes, if any levied upon taxable property within a redevelopment project, continue to be paid to the accounts of the authority insofar as needed to pay principal and interest or other amounts of debt incurred by the authority.
This bill would make these provisions governing the establishment and operation of redevelopment project areas created within Fort Ord inoperative as of the date of the dissolution of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority or the retirement of the authority's debt, whichever occurs later. The bill, upon dissolution of the authority or retirement of its debt, whichever occurs later, would require that any remaining property tax revenues allocated to the authority be transferred to the auditor-controller of the County of Monterey for appropriate distribution.
(5) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Monterey.
(6) By adding to the duties of various local agencies with respect to the dissolution of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Don't look now, but 'Education Spring' is arriving
by Legal Digest Staff | Mar 25, 2014 | Headline News
"Education Spring"—the rise of public education advocates against the business-backed privatization movement—is spreading across the country and has finally reached Washington. But if you're wondering why standardized testing is causing such a stink these days (after all, didn't we manage OK with the SAT, ACT and other tests?), all you have to do is go back to where this all started, in Texas. Providing cautionary tales to the rest of the country is a public service we provide here. You're welcome.
Here's the rub: No Child Left Behind, an outdated law begging for replacement, requires every eighth-grader to pass a standardized test in math. Texas also requires students taking Algebra I to pass a state standardized test, and many children take Algebra I in the eighth grade, which means many Texas eighth-graders have to pass two math tests, only one of which actually counts. The other is just to satisfy NCLB, which was based on an earlier Texas law in the first place.
The state education agency asked the federal education agency for permission not to double-test eighth-graders. Texas is where high-stakes testing was born, so when Texas is asking for relief you know things have gotten a little out of hand. But this month U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan denied the request, which means next month hundreds of thousands of Texas 14-year-olds will learn an important lesson, but not one about math…

October 23, 2018 October 23, 2018 circuskiller Trump Tuesday America, asteroid, border wall, casino, Donald Trump, Mexico, NASA, North Dakota, POTUS, President Trump, Trump, Twitter
Hours ago, NASA confirmed that an asteroid the size of North Dakota is on a collision course with Earth. Experts are saying that the object will make impact with our planet in twenty-six days unless the world's brightest and bravest can figure out a way to change the asteroid's trajectory, or find a way to break it up into smaller, more manageable fragments.
President Trump has been crucial in strategizing America's asteroid defense initiative. The President first proposed building a wall around the planet that Mexico would pay for, but experts are saying that they won't be able to get it up in time. Trump then suggested giving the asteroid hush money to make it go away, but the President's bribery fund has run dry due to his marital failings. Next the President suggested throwing paper towels at the asteroid, but astronomers believe that this would only make the asteroid angrier. Still, President Trump is determined to save his country.
Trump has been tweeting insulting things about the asteroid in an heroic attempt to demoralize it, but so far his tweets have not fazed the space rock, which makes this the first time that the President's tweets have had no destructive effects.
Scattered reports suggest that NASA is working on a top-secret program called "Project Orange," which will corrupt the object's integrity from within. If the rumors about Project Orange are to be believed, then NASA will soon lure President Trump into a space shuttle by loading it up with things he loves – such as Oreo's and pictures of white people – and then blast the President into space and instruct him to manage the asteroid like one of his casinos.

Through our direct line of interdimensional communication with the future, every Wednesday we bring you stories of random and unrelated news events that haven't happened yet. Here are this week's stories:
1. December 4th, 2068 – NASA Scientist Believes Alien Life Could Be Discovered Any Minute Now
NASA Scientist Jill Forrester announced yesterday that she believes alien life could be discovered "any minute now" during a press conference with a panel of NASA's top scientists. The search for extraterrestrial life has been part of NASA's mission for some time now, however it has thus far yielded no results. Forrester assured everyone that the search is definitely nearing an end, and that "there's gotta be microbes or something on one of these other damn planets, really."
2. August 1st, 2104 – Eating Chocolate in Bed No Longer a Sin, Says Pope
Pope George made an historic announcement yesterday when he decreed that eating chocolate in bed is in fact not a sinful act. Many Catholics around the world were relieved by this news; studies indicate that 7 out of every 10 people who keep a bar of emergency backup chocolate on their nightstand end up devouring it within just 3 days. Numerous members of the Catholic Church have spoken out against Pope George, saying he's too lenient on the rules and that if people don't feel guilty over these sorts of things they'll no longer be pressured into sticking with their beliefs. Since the announcement, the Pope has continuously supported chocolate eaters by citing the newest biblical translation which replaces the word "salvation" with "chocolate."
3. Shmovember 39th, 4681 – Positronic Fuel Rod Prices Hit All Time High
Positronic fuel rod prices shot up to an all time high over the weekend at just over 3.8 million galactic credits for one rod. People across the galaxy have sworn to boycott this increasingly inefficient fuel source and are pleading with the galaxy's best minds to devise a source of energy that is cheap, renewable and doesn't switch the polarity of a quantum electrostasis hypersphere engine every time it needs to be replaced. Many Worlders have begun reverting back to the ancient fuel sources of our ancestors like oil, solar, garbage and racism, but none of these things can be mass-produced for the tens of billions who commute to other star systems every day. All are hopeful that a solution can be found before the galaxy's annual Fleefing.

Former NASA Analyst Claims to Have Seen Intelligent Life on Earth
December 8, 2014 February 26, 2015 circuskiller News, Science Earth, Intelligent life, Mars, Moon, NASA, News
Deb Burns, a retired geologist and extraterrestrial topography expert, has come forward with claims that she observed intelligent life on the planet Earth during her time working with NASA in the 1970s. Burns claims she witnessed these intelligent beings using their vastly superior knowledge to put other beings on the Moon, as well as use advanced technological devices to probe other regions of the solar system.
"I know it sounds insane," said Burns, "but I know what I saw. There were teams of men and women using their minds to discover, explore and learn about the world around them. And all of this was happening on Earth."
Burns says she saw this intelligence a number of times while studying photographs of Mars sent back from the Mariner 9 space probe, as well as images of Venus sent back from Mariner 10.
Other scientists have come forward with similar claims that seem to verify Burns' statements. According to Hank Buckman, a physicist who helped design some of NASA's probes, there was an "organization of intelligent minds" existing on Earth as late as the 1990s, which he says he witnessed despite having never worked directly with Burns.
NASA hasn't yet commented on the matter and the US government has refused to release photos of Earth that might verify the claims. Conspiracy theorists across the nation, however, have become fascinated with the idea.
"Well yeah, of course there's intelligent life on Earth," says author and conspiracy theorist Woody Fairbrother who has written books about beings from Earth landing on the Moon. "I'm not sure what happened to it but I know for certain it was there."
Earth's apparent lack of intelligence now is an obstacle that many conspiracy theorists like Fairbrother struggle with, but Fairbrother and Burns herself haven't lost hope.
"Maybe someday it'll resurface," Burns said. "I hope it does. Earth is facing a lot of global crises right now and the intervention of intelligent beings would go a long way."

American citizen sues ICE following three week attempt to deport him to Jamaica
Activism, News, Race, Video
Peter Sean Brown, seen here in a screengrab of his video for the ACLU is suing Sheriff Rick Ramsay and the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. Brown was held on suspicion that he was a Jamaican immigrant due to be deported. Brown, an American citizen was detained despite having documents which proved his citizenship. Image Credit: U.S. Reality Check Image Source: Twitter
According to the Miami Herald, a 50-year-old man from Philadelphia who lives in the Florida Keys found himself on the fast track to a deportation to Jamaica, despite being an American citizen. Peter Sean Brown had only visited the country once on a cruise some years ago, but that did not stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from keeping him locked up for weeks as they worked to send him to Jamaica.
After Brown turned himself in for a probation violation in April after a positive drug test for marijuana, he thought would be in jail maybe a few days at the most. Instead he was held for three weeks as officials insisted he had immigrated illegally and worked to send him to Jamaica.
It took a friend of Brown giving a copy of his birth certificate to ICE before they released him. Now, Brown is suing Monroe County and Sheriff Rick Ramsay. Ramsay is denying he is at fault for the extended incarceration of Brown, releasing a statement: "This was an unfortunate case of mistaken identity by ICE regarding a subject who was initially in state custody for violating probation for a felony crime of violence against a police officer… I immediately took action when notified of this matter months ago," Ramsay said. "I ordered Sheriff's Office detention deputies to immediately notify ICE of a detainee's claims of citizenship and to follow up with those claims."
But Brown's lawsuit indicates that Ramsay and his office knew at several points that he was a United States citizen. "The sheriff's inmate file for Mr. Brown confirmed, in multiple places, that he was a U.S. citizen," the suit reads. "The file lists his place of birth as 'Philadelphia, Pennsylvania' in capital letters. This file was available to jail staff throughout Mr. Brown's detention."
Brown was held at the Stock Island Detention Center but did not get a court date until April 26th when he was ordered by a county judge to be released. Brown's fingerprints were shipped to the FBI, who then sent them to ICE, as they do all fingerprints from offenders, and ICE then sent Ramsay a final order of deportation. At the point when Brown was released from ICE custody, he was being held at the Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade.
Brown released a video and a statement on Monday in which he states, "I would never have expected in a million years that this would happen… With policies like this and people implementing them like that, it's only going to continue.

Like so many other women today, worry probably feels second nature to you—often like a reflex than a choice. On any given day you fret about growing debts and thinly stretched paychecks, strained relationships and social snubs. . .health scares, parenting challenges, waistlines, wrinkles, workloads. Replacing Worry for Wonder shows you how to break the cycle of unnecessary suffering, release anxiety, give up the illusion that we're in control, and find peace in an intimate, growing relationship with Jesus Christ. This book has something for every worrywart—from the chronically stressed to the occasional ruminator.


Sometimes a perfect ending to a Sunday is a relaxing bath.
A lizard had wiggled itself inside the bathroom and made our bathtub his playground. No big deal. In Florida, lizards slither under screen doors and squeeze through any crack. They're as common as eighty-degree weather in December.
With full confidence, I stood still, waiting while hubby chased the skinny intruder. Then, he trapped it and with one quick scoop, he lifted it in the air and released it outside.
Once again, he proved to be my hero.
But when lizards of problems slither in my life, I forge ahead to battle them on my own. The struggle is fierce because I'm hindered by frustration, impatience and foolish pride. Admitting my futility, in my mind, the lizard becomes a huge alligator, threatening to eat me alive.
We all do that sometimes, don't we? We try to fight intruders on our own. And we only win when wisdom appears, then we call upon God and count on His power. And while we're still, very still, we simply wait.
That's when His Word guides our thinking, stops our fears and traps our anxiety.

We know that there are choices when selecting cremation preplanning and we are honored to have over 20,000 Iowans that have selected to become members of Iowa Cremation. For those that are starting the process of preplanning for cremation, information is power. When considering providers, it is important to have a complete comparison of the differences in services that are offered. Some cremation providers will offer an initial low price, but when comparing directly to what is included with all Iowa Cremation plans, there is no comparison.
Weekend, Holiday or After Hours Services. Iowa Cremation will never charge additional for our services or arrangements based on when a death occurs. Your family needs caring and professional assistance, and we are here to provide that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — at no additional cost.
Writing, preparing and placing an obituary. We include the service of our experienced and professional licensed funeral directors to assist with writing and placement of obituaries. Many newspaper publications have a fee to publish the obituary which will be paid by the family.
Online Obituary and Condolences. Iowa Cremation also includes our Simple Tribute Online Obituary that offers a full unedited obituary to be placed on our website permanently. This also provides family and friends all over the world access to read the obituary, find information on any services, and share a condolence or message.
Mileage fees or transfer of the deceased outside a certain radius. The removal and transportation of the loved one from within anywhere in Iowa to the servicing crematory is included when you choose Iowa Cremation.
Packaging and Shipment of Cremated Remains. Due to distance or other factors, some families find it necessary to have cremated remains shipped to a certain location. Iowa Cremation includes the careful packaging and shipment of the cremated remains in our arrangements. Cremated remains are required to be shipped United States Postal Service Priority Express.
Life Insurance Assistance. If there is a remaining balance due and the deceased had life insurance, Iowa Cremation can assist at no additional charge with filing the necessary documents and an insurance assignment for payment of any final expenses. This process allows for the insurance company to pay directly the amount due.
In addition to the above items, Iowa Cremation has two exclusive benefits that are unmatched by other providers.
Travel Protection. Should death occur away from Iowa, but within the contiguous United States, we will provide all services purchased at or near the place of death at no additional cost, provided that Iowa Cremation is the first and only service provider to be notified of the beneficiary's death. This benefit is exclusive to Iowa Cremation.
GriefCare Line. Another exclusive benefit of being an Iowa Cremation member is allowing your family to have access to our GriefCare Line. This 24-hour telephone grief counseling service has been designed especially for the families that Iowa Cremation is honored to serve. The GriefCare Line is staffed by trained, compassionate counselors with a required college degree in Human Services. All calls remain completely confidential.
So remember, when selecting your cremation provider, while a low introductory price may be presented, make sure to investigate what is included and how that will affect your family. You will not find another provider in Iowa that offers simple services, with dignified and professional staff, at such an affordable cost.

Arcadia football controls its own destiny in…
Arcadia football controls its own destiny in league finale against Crescenta Valley

By Fred Robledo | frobledo@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune
PUBLISHED: November 1, 2017 at 10:09 a.m. | UPDATED: November 1, 2017 at 10:17 a.m.
The Arcadia High School football team is ranked third in CIF Southern Section Division 11 and has played well enough to make a title run during November.
But all that won't mean anything if the Apaches don't punch their ticket to the playoffs.
Arcadia (6-3, 5-1) is facing Crescenta Valley (8-1, 5-1) for sole possession of at least second place in the Pacific League on Thursday at Glendale High School at 7 p.m.
By winning and finishing no worse than second, Arcadia will advance to the Division 11 playoffs. However, if it loses and falls to third, it's a crowded division and not all third place teams will advance, forcing it to wait until Sunday to find out if it gets in.
"We're looking at this game like a playoff game," Arcadia coach Andrew Policky said. "If we lose it gets real murky going through the at-large process, and we would rather not have to go through that obviously."
It's a strange spot to be in. The Apaches have been a top five team in Division 11 nearly all season, and still has to go through a one-loss team in Week 10 to secure a playoff spot.
"Yeah, it's strange," Policky said. "Some teams don't have shots to make the playoffs because of the tough leagues they play in. That's how it's set up now, there's pro's and con's and you have to make the best of it."
The Apaches have won three straight since a 17-14 loss to Burbank, facing a Falcons team whose only loss was to Burbank, 37-20.
Policky's concern is containing Falcons quarterback Cole Doyle, who has passed for 1,329 yards and 19 touchdowns and rushed for 675 yards and nine TDs.
"He's a tough kid," Policky said of Doyle. "Him running the ball is dangerous, so we have to be focused on him."
Bonita (3-6, 1-3) vs. South Hills (8-1, 4-0) at Covina District Field, 7 p.m.
The Huskies won the Palomares League title with key victories over Glendora and Ayala, but a victory over the Bearcats in the league finale would not only allow them to finish undefeated in league, but it should sew up the top seed in Division 7.
The Huskies entered the week as the top seed after routing Diamond Bar 56-6 last week.
Bonita quarterback J.P. Andrade is among the leaders in the Southern Section with 2,756 yards passing and 25 touchdowns. He is averaging 306 yards per game and with a big night can finish the season with over 3,000 yards passing.
Ayala (5-4, 3-1) vs. Glendora (6-3, 3-1) at Citrus College, 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs and Tartans are playing for sole possession of second in the Palomares, but regardless of what happens, both will make the playoffs
The Tartans were ranked tenth in Division 4 and winning could mean a first round home game in the playoffs. The Bulldogs are in Division 7 and could be a sleeper in the postseason.
Whittier (4-5, 2-2) vs. El Rancho (3-6, 1-3) at California HS, 7 p.m.
The Cardinals are in Division 10 and even with a victory and a third-place finish in the Del Rio League, that might not be enough to get the Cardinals in the playoffs. It's a crowded division with lots of third place teams hoping to make the 16-team field, so the Cards have to win and hope. The Dons have lost three straight since a promising 3-3 start and are finishing their season.
La Canada (0-8), vs. Crean Lutheran (5-4) at Irvine HS, 7 p.m.
The Spartans finished last in the Rio Hondo League and are trying to avoid a winless season in the finale against the Saints, who play in the Academy League and compete in Division 11.

Apple offers Lion upgrade details for business, education customers
By Lex Friedman and Serenity Caldwell
Macworld JUN 20, 2011 8:27 am PDT
If you're an IT manager worried about how Lion's Mac App Store-only distribution will affect your deployment of the new OS, perhaps some official instructions from Apple will alleviate your fears. On Friday, the company posted a PDF to its sales website detailing exactly how business and education customers can upgrade come July.
First reported on by TUAW, the document offers a basic overview for upgrading to Lion in regards to business and education, as well as confirmation regarding newly purchased Macs being eligible for a free OS upgrade. The PDF is available only to authorized purchasers on Apple's sales website, though MacRumors has posted a copy to its servers. We've asked Apple to confirm the details of the document; we'll update with Apple's response if the company elects to comment.
For those of you who don't feel like reading over the PDF, we've broken down the information for you in a few simple steps.
Buying Lion
Business customers: According to the document, business customers will be able to purchase Lion and Lion Server through the online Business Store or by calling Apple's business line. Buyers will be able to purchase volume licenses for $30 a license (minimum 20 licenses). Maintenance contracts, which offer three free subsequent years of OS updates as part of Apple's Maintenance Program, will cost $50 a license (minimum 20 licenses). Lion Server will be available for an additional $50 from the Mac App Store; if you're currently running Snow Leopard Server, you'll have to buy both Lion and Lion Server at the same time to upgrade.
Education customers: Those buying Lion for a school can upgrade through their Apple Education Account Representative or through Apple's online Education Store. Lion will be automatically bundled with iLife and iWork as part of the company's Apple Software Collection, which starts at $39 per license (minimum 25 licenses).
New Mac owners: The PDF also confirms that customers who recently purchased a Mac should be entitled to a free upgrade to Lion. If you bought a qualifying new laptop or desktop from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, you'll be entitled to a free upgrade to Lion as part of the company's Up-to-Date program. According to the PDF, you'll have 30 days after Lion's release to request an update code.
Downloading and Dissemination
Downloading Lion: Business or education customers that buy the requisite licenses will receive a single redemption code for use on the Mac App Store. Once redeemed, this code will download the Lion installer; from there, you can copy the installer to a disk, flash drive, networked drive—you name it—to transfer it over to another system.
Installing Lion: You can go about actually installing Lion a couple of different ways: by dragging the installer to the computer in question and having it install in place, or—if you're running Lion Server—by using NetInstall to make the Lion installer a startup disk on your company's local network. (If your business has a copy of Apple Remote Desktop, you can use that to automate system installation, as well.)
But what about updates? You can download updates for both Lion and Lion Server through Software Update on each respective computer; no Mac App Store patch-downloading necessary.
In its announcement that the Mac App Store would be the exclusive way to upgrade to Lion, Apple raised several concerns among consumers and IT professionals alike; if this document is any indication, however, it looks like the company is beginning to address these issues. That being said, Apple has yet to discuss upgrade paths for other types of customers—namely, people with limited bandwidth or a data-capped Internet connection, who might run into problems downloading large files from the Mac App Store. Also left out in the cold: Mac users who haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard, as you need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later to use the Mac App Store. We hope to get more details on those issues from Apple in advance of Lion's July arrival.

CELEBRATE FRENCH CANADIAN HERITAGE DAY AT THE DETROIT HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Posted on September 26, 2014 by hometownhistorytours
French-Canadian days at Detroit Historical Museum 2014
DETROIT – The Detroit Historical Museum is joining a number of locations around the state hosting celebrations of the region's French Canadian heritage on Friday, October 3 from 1 – 3 p.m. This family-friendly event is FREE.
Join us at 1 p.m. to hear French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan members Diane Wolford Sheppard and Suzanne Boivin Sommerville present artwork and other visuals to illustrate the joie de vivre of French-Canadian heritage with a special emphasis on Detroit and the Great Lakes area. They will also share the attitudes and misconceptions recorded by the British and especially, the Americans, when they first observed the joie de vivre of the French Canadians in Detroit.
Following the presentation, the musical group Trois Bouffons — Mark Szabo, Mike Francis and Genot Picor — will provide some lively French Canadian dance music and community dance instruction at 2 p.m. Starting with music that Champlain brought to Nouvelle France, they will work their way up to jigs, reels, waltzes and French Canadian polkas, with an interactive story or two. Their performance is modeled after the veillée, or "social gathering," which was a common form of entertainment our ancestors enjoyed.
The French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan (FCHSM) is an educational, historical, cultural and genealogical non-profit organization, committed to making people aware of the rich culture and history of French Canadians in North America. Although the FCHSM is based in Michigan, members live throughout the United States and Canada.
The Detroit Historical Museum, located at 5401 Woodward Ave. (NW corner of Kirby) in Midtown Detroit, is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free for all, all the time. Parking in the Museum's lot is $6 at all times. Group tour pricing and information is available by calling 313.833.7979. Permanent exhibits include the famous Streets of Old Detroit, the Allesee Gallery of Culture, Kid Rock Music Lab, Doorway to Freedom: Detroit and the Underground Railroad, Detroit: The "Arsenal of Democracy," the Gallery of Innovation, Frontiers to Factories, America's Motor City, and The Glancy Trains. For more information, call the Museum at 313.833.1805 or check out our website at detroithistorical.org.
