Michigan
Diplomat at the U.S. Embassy Vienna Mark Bland talks about his home state of Michigan. #50states #MI
Transcript:
Known as the Great Lakes State, Michigan looks like a hand, and is easily identifiable on any map of the United States and also from outer space. It's located in the northern Midwest of the USA and borders the Canadian province of Ontario. Michigan is called the Wolverine State and is divided into two peninsulas with a land area of 150,000 square kilometers. The word Michigan (pronounced Mishigan, not Mitchigan), comes from the Native American word Mishigamaa, which means large lake. Michigan has the longest freshwater coast in the world: more than 5200km of shoreline. With its population of almost 10 million, Michigan is the 8th most populous state in the United States. Almost 40% of the state's population lives near Detroit, the largest city, while only 3% live in the entire Upper Peninsula.
The French discovered Michigan in the 1600s and founded the city of Detroit in 1701. During the 1700s control of Michigan alternated between the French, the British, and the local Native Americans. In 1796 the British finally abandoned Detroit and their forts on the Great Lakes. Michigan became a territory in 1805 and the 26th state in January
1837.
Michigan is known primarily for two things: automobiles and its beautiful nature.
At the beginning of the 1900s Henry Ford revolutionized auto production by developing the moving assembly line. He and his fellow auto manufacturers (Olds, Buick, Dodge, and others) helped transform private life in the United States and created an economic boom in Michigan that attracted immigrants from all over the world. Today, General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford still produce almost 25% of all cars made in the United States. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Michigan also builds 50% of all office furniture made in the USA, and is home to Dow Chemical, Whirlpool, and Kellogg's, all of which manufacture products people worldwide use on a daily basis.
As a native Michigander, I am proud of my state's beautiful scenery. Tourism is one of Michigan's largest industries. Tourists in Michigan spend around $17 billion per year visiting the state's amazing nature and its cultural heritage. Among our most spectacular sites are the Sleeping Bear sand dunes along Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island (a uniquely historical island free of automobiles), the Mackinaw Straits bridge (at 8km in length it is the world's third largest suspension bridge), and the Upper Peninsula with the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Porcupine Mountains, Tahquamenon Falls, and Isle Royale National Park. Michigan has over 11,000 lakes and is a paradise for fishing, hunting, canoeing, skiing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. We also have several thousand kilometers of pristine beaches with white sand and crystal clear aquamarine water. The climate is ideal for the production of cherries, apples, and Christmas trees—all of which are products that Michigan exports in large quantity across the United States.
Culturally and educationally Michigan also distinguishes itself. Our 15 public universities, 56 private colleges, and 28 public community colleges attract large numbers of foreign students due to their diverse curricula, high academic standards, and pleasant learning environment. Our largest city, Detroit, is home to the Henry Ford Museum, historical Dearborn Village, and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. The Detroit Symphony and Detroit
Opera House enjoy an international reputation. Finally, Michigan has contributed its fair share to the music world, beginning with Motown Records in the 1960s and continuing up through Eminem and Madonna, both of whom are native Michiganders.
So come visit Michigan and enjoy our beautiful nature, friendly people, and many cultural offerings. We'd be happy to host you!

Wall Of Motown Legends With Clifton J. Perry...Detroit, Michigan
Wall Of Motown Legends...
Shared By: Clifton Jamaal Perry B.K.A. Mr. Cliffnote...
Hello! I am Clifton Perry, also known as Mr. CliffNote.” I am a native resident of Detroit, and current tenant of Northland Mall – until April 1. Along with all my fellow displaced business owners, the fate of a special piece of my art hangs uncertain.
This campaign is to save that art – a Motown-themed mural I did that stands 16-feet tall by 45-feet wide. It features some of the most popular acts on the legendary Motwon record label - a label that helped catapult Detroit’s unique music around the globe. I’m also a music man, and put five months of time and energy into creating this piece, to properly honor the legend it represents.
Schools have scheduled field trips to the mall just to see it, and I've even had a visit from the last surviving member of the Four Tops, Duke Fakir. I was humbled to hear Fakir say he came because he had heard so many great things about it.
I created the piece so people could have a visual representation of the historical significance that Motown is to this city and state. Motown smashed walls and made history, but seeing this piece get smashed or painted over would be a tragedy.
If there's anything in my power that I can do to stop this from happening, I’m gonna to do it. But with limiting funding and a ticking clock, I need support to save the mural. I'm reaching out to anybody or any institution who might be willing to help me get this mural out of the mall before it closes.
I am hoping to get it placed into a museum, art gallery, or even with a private collector for personal display. Funds raised will go toward moving costs.
Please help this historical piece live on like the timeless music it represents. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! I thank you so much for stopping by and reading about the Motown mural and the story behind it. Thank you!
Hello, everybody! I am writing this with awe for the flood of well wishes and support I have received to help save my Motown mural in Northland Mall! Everything and anything matters in a time like this, and it means everything to me for people to donate their time, kind words and financial support. As I write, my campaign is nearing the $1,000 mark. I appreciate every cent! Michigan and its people have been through it the past decade -- so I know those dollars were especially hard-earned!
I wanted to thank everybody again and share a couple updates. I have until April 9 to get the mural a new home. The other news is that I do not have to replace the wall, which will cut costs and time.
Saving this mural means everything to me because of what it means to all of us in this area. As a music man and artist, I have lived, breathed and felt that unique Detroit spirit my whole life. It helped shape me, and that tough Detroit mentality gave me the courage to create my own business doing what I love. I tried to capture that same spirit in my mural, my ode to a musical legacy. Please help me find a new home for the Motown mural, one that will allow folks to visit and feel as inspired as I was when I painted it.
I thank each and every person for their contribution from the bottom of my heart. I am humbled and honored to my core. Thanks again!
With gratitude,
Cliff aka Mr. CliffNote
