In recognition of the nation's 250th milestone anniversary, justices of the Michigan Supreme Court will visit The Henry Ford in Dearborn on Tuesday, July 21.
The justices will tour the Freedom Plane National Tour exhibition and the newly-restored Jackson Home, a civil rights landmark where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and fellow leaders planned the Selma-to-Montgomery marches and advanced the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
A court news release said the justices will use this visit to explore America's founding documents and reflect on the enduring principles of constitutional democracy -- most notably being the rule of law-- as well as the importance of civic engagement.
The visit highlights the connection between the nation's founding ideals and the ongoing pursuit of civil rights, while reinforcing the Michigan judiciary's 2026 focus on civic engagement and judicial outreach.
Together, these historic touchstones underscore the lasting influence of our founding principles on the justice system and civic life, and their continued relevance in advancing liberty, equality, justice, and inspiring an informed, engaged citizenry, the court statement said.
