    I have no problem with learning about other cultures, but how about a day that celebrates American heritage as well as all the others you have events for.

    Steve,

    Thank you for your suggestion. We do try to offer programs that explore American heritage as well. This season alone, we are offering a program on American Jazz, an African American film documentary, a program on Michigan’s culinary heritage, a children’s program on Michigan called “Explore the Mitten,” and a Michigan Author Showcase featuring dozens of local authors. If you have suggestions for programs, please let us know.
