IN RECOGNITION OF THE MOTOWN MUSEUM

______

HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

of michigan

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, August 9, 2022

Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I want to recognize the Motown Museum, located in Detroit in Michigan's 13th District Strong as they celebrate their grand reopening.

The Motown Museum is an important cultural institution that has local and nationwide significance. The museum's leadership and volunteers have dedicated themselves to preserving the legacy of Motown's indelible and profound impact on our country's music and popular culture.

Founded in 1985 by Esther Gordy Edwards, the museum seeks to capture the magic of the 1960s-era Motown's ``voice of young America'' by preserving the artifacts of Motown Records' early days. Producer Gordy Berry was the mastermind behind Motown Records, bringing to the mainstream its characteristic soulful and pop sound. A Blackowned label, Motown made history in popularizing and integrating its distinctive sound.

Please join me in celebrating Detroit's very own Motown Museum as they reopen their newly expanded facility.
