Detroit's rich history of African American culture and its status as the birthplace of Motown and techno make it the perfect location for Afro Nation Detroit 2024. The festival offers an opportunity to celebrate the resilience and enduring legacy and to connect with Detroit's vibrant music and artistic communities. The Douglass site is a historically significant housing project in Detroit that was the first federally funded housing project for African Americans in the United States. It was home to icons such as Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, and other influential African Americans.
