The Rosa Parks Bus by Rafael Peixoto Ferreira

One of our nation’s most significant documents, the Emancipation Proclamation, will be on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn.

Following a brief opening ceremony, the original document will be on display around-the-clock, straight through early Wednesday morning, June 22, when it will return to Washington DC. More info and related events at the Emancipation Proclamation at the Hentry Ford.

I couldn’t think of a more fitting image for this than the Rosa Parks bus, just one of many amazing relics of American history that are displayed at the Henry Ford (see their exhibits). See more in Rafael’s great Detroit gallery.

Here’s a whole bunch of photos from the Henry Ford Museum from the Absolute Michigan group on Flickr!
