If you've recently visited Gallup Park in Ann Arbor or Riverside Park in Ypsilanti, you probably noticed some beautiful, colorful billboard-sized art installations. These come from the non-profit "Embracing Our Differences Michigan." That organization will hold its 3rd annual Diversity Day Celebration on Sunday, May 18th at Washtenaw Community College. WEMU's David Fair spoke with executive director Nancy Margolis about promoting and advancing diversity in our community.
