Europeans Through African Eyes at Detroit Institute of Arts

One of our State's cultural points of light is the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). From now until early August, the gallery is featuring a unique exhibit called: Through African Eyes. It is an exploration in art from the vantage point of Africans as what they have thought or currently think of Europeans, Westerners. Something that we were probably never taught in American history books.

A brief commercial on YouTube explains the exhibit:
