The museum previously required a minimum $50 donation — $15 for UM students — for memberships, but continued to have free admission. Members receive a 20 percent discount at the UMMA store, invitations to upcoming events and exhibitions, a subscription to the UMMA magazine, a calendar and reciprocal admission to over 50 participating museums. Now, UMMA members who contribute $100 or more will receive reciprocal admissions to 853 North American museums and 12 Michigan museums. Instead of the $50 fee, UMMA encourages annual gifts to the museum to help it extend its philosophy of inclusion and accessibility. A new grant from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan — a philanthropic organization aimed at making positive change — has made the free membership possible. “UMMA hopes to upend the notion that to be a stakeholder in the Museum’s future, you have to be a major donor,” said Carrie Throm, UMMA deputy director of Development and External Relations in a release. “UMMA belongs to the citizens of Michigan, the University, and — now, truly — everyone.” UMMA’s educational programs serve approximately 35,000 people annually, and the museum broke a record for hosting almost 250,000 visitors last year. Those who want to sign up for the free membership program can do so online or at UMMA’s store on site. The free memberships do not expire. “UMMA is excited to offer free membership to everyone,” said UMMA Interim Director Kathryn Huss in the release. “Our goal is to promote the discovery, contemplation and enjoyment of art, and to be accessible to everyone. We welcome more people to join us in that mission.” - CARLY RYAN ON THE DAILY: ART IS FREE AT THE UMMA ALEXIS RANKIN/Daily Lumineers guitarist esley Schultz on stage during their Cleopatra World Tour stop at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Friday.

Since Korematsu’s death in 2005, several states have declared his birthday, Jan. 30, Fred Korematsu Day. About 30 people attended the event, which was hosted by the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association and the Muslim Law Student Association. Korematsu brought a case to the Supreme Court in 1944, stating the Japanese internment camps put in place during World War II were unconstitutional. Korematsu v. United States ruled in favor of the government and Korematsu was convicted of resisting the executive order. Korematsu’s conviction was eventually overturned in 1983, though the court ruling stands. Panelists discussed Korematsu’s actions in light of President Donald Trump’s recent executive order. First- year Law student Layan Charara, the political action chair of Muslim Law Student Association, told the Daily Korematsu’s work can serve as a model in today’s political climate “Korematsu is a very important civil rights activist for many reasons, not just for Asian Americans, but also lately for Muslim Americans and all people of color,” Charara said. In light of Trump’s executive order, which banned the travel and resettlement of citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries to the United States, the panelists drew similarities between Korematsu’s case and Japanese-American internment to the current discrimination and hate crimes occurring across the nation. When asked about the repercussions of Trump’s recent actions, panelist and activist Asha Noor stated the country is in a state of crisis. “The last time there was so much outrage was after 9/11,” Noor said. “For the next four years, it’s not going to be just marches and protests; it’s going to be legal battles.” Panelists urged audience members to ally with organizations and come together to stand against the hate crimes occurring around the nation.
