WHEN: Monday, January 18, 2016 at 12-Noon

WHAT: Peace March organized by students to show #TheRealDearborn  

WHERE: March will start at the corner of Greenfield Road & Michigan Avenue and proceed west along the sidewalk of Michigan Ave to the City of Dearborn Administration Center (new City Hall), 16901 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, 48124.

Those planning on attending should park in the public parking lot located on the south side of the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Avenue. The lot can be accessed from Greenfield Road or from Michigan Avenue.

WHY: Students from Dearborn, Edsel Ford, Fordson, and Divine Child High School were frustrated with images and reports that often portray a distorted and negative image of the city. The group created and organized #TheRealDearborn March as way to celebrate and show Dearborn’s historic diversity, rich culture, and united community.

The group has also created Twitter and Instagram accounts promoting the January 18 #TheRealDearborn March. People are invited to post photos and comments @RealDearborn.
