Important Factor

The important factor in this
movement seems to me to be
i that this is a campaign of educa-
tion. Here is a project funda-
mental to the outlook of this
community, as "a living, breath-
ing entity. It is fundamental to

day the amazing story of De-
troit, the one-horse town of the
late '90's which became in 'less
than a half-century the Arsenal
of the Allies and the hope of
all free men everywhere, should
be told. Not told in shadowy
outline, but with a sharp focus
on those elements that brought
about the change, so that it will
have clarity and dimension.

tions drawn to this amazing De-
troit by a force many of them
are unable to understand.
The Historical and Industrial
Museum will help to make them
articulate; to give them purpose

and direction. What Detroit
needs more than anything else
right now is a sense of unity, a
sense of togetherness, a sense of

common destiny.
Let's build that Museum! Let's
help sell. Detroit—to Detroit!
