This week, Authentically Detroit sat down with Kevin Davidson, the Director of Design and Fabrication at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.

Donna and Orlando spoke with Kevin about the 40th annual African World Festival, taking place in Downtown Detroit at Hart Plaza, July 14-16th. As a 40-year employee, Kevin has had the opportunity to experience every festival since its inception. While recording, Donna and Orlando also learned of Rev. JoAnn Watson’s passing and took the time to honor the life and legacy of the lifelong community activist.
