Photojournalist Rachel Woolf’s
exhibit “Deported: An American
Division,” which examines the
impact of immigration policy on
a local family, opened Tuesday at
Weill Hall. Woolf’s photography
depicts Lourdes Salazar Bautista
and her family’s deportation
from the United States to Mexico
in 2017. The images capture the
days before Bautista’s deportation
hearing in Detroit and images of
the family in Toluca, Mexico after
their forced return.
Woolf won the Art Works
Projects’ 2018 Emerging Lens
Mentorship Program competition,
which allowed her to put together
her exhibition. Art Works Projects
focuses on educating the public
about human rights and social
justice issues through visual art.
Woolf met Bautista through
a
friend
during
Bautista’s
campaign to stay in the United
States. Bautista was searching
for someone to tell her story of
fighting deportation, and Woolf,
a photojournalist, met with her to
photograph her experience. Woolf
remained in touch with Bautista
after she left the U.S. and visited
her in Mexico.
University
of
Michigan
Central Student Government
met
Tuesday
to
discuss
banning Wendy’s on campus,
new CSG appointments and
adjustments to the judicial
branch nomination process.
Early
in
the
meeting,
Rackham student Kim Daley
spoke about blocking Wendy’s,
the fast food chain, from
campus. She said the first
food workers in the U.S. were
slaves, and even today, slavery
still occurs on farms. Many
farmers signed onto the Fair
Food Program to better labor
conditions.
Several
multi-
billion dollar companies have
pledged to improve conditions,
but Wendy’s still has not joined
the petition.
Daley encouraged members
of CSG to take action against
the presence of Wendy’s at
the University. CSG did not
respond to Daley’s concerns at
the meeting but said they focus
on it at a later date.
“You all have a lot of power
and you are listened to,” Daley
said. “You can block Wendy’s
from coming to campus.”
Following the graduation
of the previous vice chair of
the Ethics Committee, CSG
voted to elect Public Policy
senior Drea Somers to fill the
position. When asked about
her previous experience in
Last
month,
local
businessman Tom Brady Jr.,
along with his associate Darin
Dingham opened up an Ann
Arbor location of Jim Brady’s
after nearly a year’s worth of
development
and
planning.
This is the second location
opened by the two since 2015,
when the first Jim Brady’s
opened its doors to the public in
Royal Oak, Mich.
The restaurant served its
first meal on December 10.
According to Brady, the vibrant
culture of the Ann Arbor
community was a key factor in
the choice to branch out into
the area.
“Ann
Arbor,
to
us,
is
incredibly exciting,” Brady said.
“It’s just such a dynamic market
in terms of the people that live
there, in terms of the culture,
the art and the music.”
Although the interior was
only completed within the
last year, the structure of the
restaurant dates back to 1861.
The restaurant is located in the
heart of downtown Ann Arbor,
close to the intersection of
South Main and Liberty streets.
In planning the interior of
the restaurant, Brady hoped
to
capture
the
energy
of
the restaurant upon which
Jim
Brady’s
was
modeled
—
Diamond
Jim
Brady’s.
The
well-known
Detroit
restaurant and bar opened
more than six decades ago by
Brady’s grandfather. Located
in
downtown
Detroit,
the
restaurant
quickly
gained
popularity and became known
for casual food and high-end
atmosphere.
Brady recalled the origins
of his grandfather’s restaurant
and its success throughout
the ’50s and ’60s, up until its
relocation to Novi in 1990
where it still stands today.
“He had this idea, to take this
little corner bar and make it
really upscale,” Brady said. “He
had really amazing burgers,
the chili became legendary.
For that style of bar, that really
wasn’t what was going on at the
time.”
Business sophomore Alais
Murillo explained the decades
of success of the original
restaurant in Detroit could
bode well for the future of Jim
Brady’s in Ann Arbor.
“We have such a diverse
group of consumers as a college
town,” Murillo explained. “If
you’re successful in a big city
like Detroit, that will likely
transfer to Ann Arbor as well.”
During the year-long process
of development, Brady and
Dingman
worked
hard
to
emulate the atmosphere of
the iconic Detroit restaurant,
hiring the architecture firm
Rossetti and Associates and
principal
interior
designer
Kelly Deines to help recreate
the 1950s feel.
“It’s
really
a
legendary
Detroit firm, it’s been in Detroit
since the 1940s,” Brady said.
“They really helped us —
starting in Royal Oak and then
in Ann Arbor — realize what
that whole visual experience
was like.”
Scott Behler, an Ann Arbor
native who now serves as the
general manager of the Ann
Arbor location, noted the work
