Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference is held annually in
the Wayne/Oakland/Macomb tri-county area and is open to anyone interested in
state or regional history.

Check out some of the 

conference sessions.

.         Same Time, Same Channel: 

Detroit's Classic Kids Shows

Locally produced children's TV shows are a thing of the past, but the genre
was important in the early days of television. The speakers will discuss how
Soupy Sales, Johnny Ginger, Captain Jolly, and other influenced the hearts
and minds of Baby Boomers-with a special appearance by White Fang.

.         Ancient Trails, Ancient Trades: 

Michigan's Copper

Long before Stonehenge and the pyramids were built, a thriving industry
flourished near the Lake Superior shores. Native people removed copper from
shallow pit mines in large quantities and traded it across the continent.
This story, along with tales of ancient waterfalls and hunting grounds-all
underwater-will be explored in this session. 

.         The Milliken Years: 

Civility, Cooperation, and Progress

Republican Governor of Michigan William G. Milliken, who held office from
1969 to 1983, is often seen as a moderate who championed bipartisanship in
state government. Come learn about the life and career of Governor Milliken
as the speaker touches up how divided government can work and how moderation
in politics can succeed.
