A Review of the "Detroit '67: Perspectives" at the Detroit Historical Museum.

At Detroit Historical Museum's new Detroit '67 exhibit, perspectives matter

The concept of perspectives comes up almost immediately as you enter the exhibit, when you're faced with an interactive screen asking what you call the events of 1967.

Before I began reporting on the events happening to recognize the 50th anniversary this year, it had never occurred to me there might be a difference of opinion in the language or that certain words bring connotations with them. Do you call it a riot? Uprising? Rebellion? Something else? Does one word speak to the behavior and another put rationale behind it?

You're asked to answer that question again near the end of the exhibit, to see if your perspective has changed.
