Themed “Celebrating Detroit through the Decades,” the event will shine a spotlight on 100 years of collecting, sharing and preserving Detroit’s history and why telling these stories matters.

The VIP Reception will kick off the evening at 5:30 p.m. with a special ceremony honoring Detroit legends, including Detroit Pistons great Ben Wallace, Lions legend Lomas Brown, legendary sports broadcasters George Blaha and Ken Daniels, and acclaimed anchorwoman Amyre Makupson, as they place their handprints and signatures into cement casts for permanent display at Legends Plaza.
