We are excited to be thinking about James "Jimmy" Boggs' upcoming 100th birthday celebration in 2019 in Detroit. If Jimmy has had an impact on your thinking and organizing, please share it with us under the hashtag #JamesBoggsIdeas. Details about #JamesBoggs100 coming soon!

One of the projects of the @Boggs_Center has been the magazine Riverwise (@RiverwiseDet) to uplift community voices in Detroit.
