Divided government is back in Lansing. How are lawmakers at the state capital working bipartisanly to get things done?

Join Michigan Public’s It's Just Politics team of Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta for our first Issues & Ale of the year as we speak with a bipartisan panel of lawmakers and take your questions about Michigan politics.

Admission is free, but space is limited, so advance registration is needed. You can attend in person or watch it online.

Issues and Ale is an event series from Michigan Public designed to engage people in conversations about important issues facing Michigan in an informal atmosphere. Your questions are always welcome.

The American past was lived in full color, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid, if not downright dull. But look a little closer, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore, to the games they played, or the books they read, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.

Exhibition open weekdays from 12-4.
