Rosa Parks Bus
Because I’ve been heading up the FutureMidwest social media outreach, I was invited to a private tour of The Henry Ford museum and, as Blagica so accurately described, it was far more emotional than we had ever anticipated. I had no idea each piece of the museum had such rich history!
I was shocked to see the chair Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in, sit in the same bus Rosa Parks made history in, and even understand how linens paved the way for the first computers.
Throughout the tour, we were reminded Henry Ford chose the highlight the works of the everyday person who had a passion for innovation. On the eve of FutureMidwest, this message could not have had better timing.
We are the game-changers of today–not just tomorrow. What we do and how we do it matters today. I invite you to join my fellow innovators and I as we take this reality and the collaborative spirit into FutureMidwest over the next two days.
