Detroit-area service members are receiving a warm welcome home this November thanks to students from Detroit’s Douglass Academy for Young Men.
The students, working with UM-Dearborn Associate Professor Julie Anne Taylor as well as their teachers, Quan Neloms, Laverne Rush, and Terry Strauss, created the artwork to express appreciation for service members and veterans. The students’ work is on display through Thanksgiving weekend in the Detroit Metropolitan Airport’s McNamara Terminal thanks to a partnership with the airport and Clear Channel.
The students had the chance to talk with three veterans before creating their artwork.
