Why Give?

  • Because our stories matter, and without sustained funding, we risk losing the 15 years of research and writing Dan gave to the city.

  • Because every building, every memory, every voice deserves to be preserved. Dan always believed that buildings are made of more than brick and mortar - they are made of the stories of those who came before us and made Detroit the city that it is.

  • Because Dan’s work has shown us how fragile—and how powerful—our history can be. There are few, if any, other places where Detroit’s history has been collected in one place and in such accurate detail.

Your gift ensures this work continues: preserving Detroit’s stories, honoring Dan’s legacy, and creating opportunities for students to carry the torch.

Together, we carry our stories forward.
