Watch: Comedian Aamer Rahman’s explainer of reverse racism is still requisite viewing.

Especially considering the astounding number of Americans who think “reverse racism” is a real problem.

This week–June 5-11, 2016–we invite you to join us in celebrating the 150th anniversary of Vernors Ginger Ale!  The festivities include a special week-long exhibit in the Detroit Historical Museum’s Louise C. Booth Auditorium, a sold-out bus tour and ginger beer crawl, and a party at the museum on Saturday!

While the Vernors Musical Carousel from the above 1954 negatives unfortunately will not be making an appearance, visitors to the Saturday party will get the rare opportunity to meet the Vernors Gnome!  Alongside the gnome, filmmaker Bill Kubota, author Keith Wunderlich, and James Vernors’ descendants, James Vernor V and James Vernor VI will also be in attendance.

For more information on the Vernors 150th Anniversary festivities, visit our website.

And of course, more Vernors-related photos and objects (such as the ticket to the pop’s 100th anniversary above) can be viewed as part of our online collection.

The New York Times Has A Pesky Habit Of Whitewashing Detroit's Revival

Yo, Dean Baquet, can you help a brother out? Seems your paper sent another reporter (again) to write a story about Detroit's Corktown (again) and Slows Bar B Q (again) and leave out the minorities (again).

Amandla Stenberg is showing a generation of black kids how to shut down racist trolls

While the racist reaction to her casting in The Hunger Games is perhaps what Amandla Stenberg is still most publicly associated with, in the mere three years since, she’s become a bold, outspoken, feminist role model. “That’s the least I can do, is try to start a conversation, try to get people thinking about a certain topic,” she told Mic.

We sat down with Stenberg to talk about her feminist awakening, using her celebrity for good and how her goal in life will help black girls everywhere.
