The five-day workshop is entitled, “The Rouge Plant, Henry Ford, and Manufacturing History, 1917-2004.”
Daily sessions of the workshop will investigate a particular theme. Topics include The Rouge and Manufacturing History, The Rouge and Labor History, Henry Ford as Icon, The Diego Rivera Murals, and The Contemporary Rouge.
