Digging Detroit - Episode 18: Dearborn's Arab American National Museum
Episode 18 of Digging Detroit: diggingdetroit.com/new-episode-dearborns-arab-american-national-museum/
See all our episodes at: diggingdetroit.com/digging-detroit-episodes/
Some Arab Americans in metro Detroit trace their family back five generations, to the 1880s--while some have only just arrived. To honor metro-Detroit's extensive role in offering haven and opportunity to one of the most influential waves of immigrants to the United States, Dearborn was selected as the site for the ten-year old Arab American National Museum.
Host Pete Kalinski visits with Dr. Matthew Stiffler who shares the background of the museum and takes us on a tour through Hollywood, NASA, pro sports--and the heart of the culture, the kitchen! Dr. Stiffler helps bust a few myths--most notably that there are Arab Christians, Jews and Muslims, and that the museum is a home for all nationalities who have pursued the American dream.

    I'm confused. As a native Detroiter, I expected some focus on Detroit music. Very small mention of Motown, no Jackie Wilson. What about Detroit's many Jazz musicians. I'm sure there's great Detroit records & memorabilia. Why not show some of it? What about the many Detroit Rhythm & Blues singers & groups? Better have George Clinton / Funkadelic on something.

    When it was time to move to Highland Park, my grandfather worked for the man in charge of identifying the machinery here at Piquette and placing it at Highland Park, Mr. Edward Gray, who Ford hired to be his Chief Engineer and Construction Engineer. Working with Albert Kahn, Gray added many new features at Highland Park, including some of the first air conditioning systems in a plant. Gray was the designer of all of the Power Plant engines at Highland Park, starting with the first 1500 hp engine built at Riverside Engine Company in Oil City where my grandfather started working for Mr. Gray as his 'draughtsman' in 1906, then moving to Highland Park around 1909-1910 to continue as his draftsman. The later engines were built in Hamilton, Ohio as Gray cut his ties to Riverside Engine and that plant would not have been able to build them anyway. Amazing times, indeed!

A Subscription to Newspapers .com would probably help you guys out.

    My family came to the Detroit Area around 1860?, by way of the Underground Railroad, by way of Ft. Erie, Ontario. My family were church members of St.Matthews church. My grandfather was a Undertaker in the 1900’s, for a time. They lived on Beal street, and latter Farnsworth. A Great Aunt was Azalea E. Hackley, a renowned singer at the time. I grew up in the Conan Gardens area beginning in the 1950’s. Boston & Tomlinson are my family names. I live in Atlanta now, if you find any info concerning them please contact me. I miss Detroit, so much history, so many great people. A. Sellers

    Thank you for sharing this. Always thought that the stories Ernie Harwell told about baseball and players in the pre-game announcements, was a highlight that I didn't want to miss. Stories like being sent to interview Ty Cobb, first announcer to be included as part of a trade, and countless but interesting stories that made 'the game' something more than just two teams competing. Hopefully there are recordings saved for baseball and Harwell fans to relish the memories.

      CBS used to be on Channel 2... then when the contract ended with CBS (around 1994), they switch to WGPR and WJBK became Fox. Historically Detroit stations were 2 (CBS), 4 (NBC), and 7(ABC) which mimics other major cities like L.A. 62,4, and 7 is rather recent.
