Ossian Sweet House: Behind the Scenes
Detroit Historical Society hosts a guided tour at the Ossian Sweet House on Saturday, October 3, at 2 p.m. in Detroit, led by Daniel Baxter of the Ossian Sweet Foundation. Step into the 1925 civil rights landmark and dig into the case’s legacy. Tickets: $25 members, $35 general admission.
Led by Ossian Sweet Foundation founder and CEO Daniel Baxter, this guided experience takes you inside the home where Dr. Ossian Sweet and his family made their courageous 1925 stand—a turning point in the fight for Civil Rights. You’ll explore how housing discrimination, racial tension, and the legal system collided in Detroit, and how the Sweet case helped shape national conversations on equality and self-defense.
The program also connects that history to ongoing civil rights and equity discussions in American cities today. Venue: Ossian Sweet House, 2905 Garland St., Detroit. Time: Saturday, 2–3:30 p.m.
