Join the Haitian Network Group of Detroit (HNGD) and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History on Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 1 PM to 4 PM, for a joyful and meaningful commemoration of Haitian Flag Day. A celebration of Haiti's legendary sheroes, this program invites everyone to honor the resilience, cultural pride, and enduring unity that the Haitian flag represents.
This is a space to learn, to celebrate, and to be moved. It is a space to affirm that Haiti's story is not only a story of struggle, it's a story of extraordinary triumph. And it is a story that belongs to all of us who believe that unity is, and has always been, our greatest strength.
This program will include live drum and folkloric dance, a screening of Age of Revolutions: The Haitian Revolution, spoken word, a musical tribute, a history presentation, and a reception featuring a taste of Haitian culture.
This is a free event. Seating is limited.

C'est beau, n'est-ce pas? Well, it's time to get outside and enjoy this view!🌤

A warm MERCI to , a public golf club located in Ann Arbor, one of the partners making the first edition of the Michigan Francophone Games possible.

Set within a beautiful natural landscape, Lake Forest offers a public 18‑hole course with no membership required — a welcoming, well‑kept environment where golfers of all levels can enjoy the game. Un lieu où l’on se sent bien, especially when the day ends with one of their stunning sunsets over the greens.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Gilda, the owner, whose sense of hospitality and commitment to the community shape the spirit of the club. (Oui, elle parle français!) Whether you come to play, reconnect, or simply take in the view, Lake Forest has a way of making every visit feel special.

To complete the experience,   offers a bright restaurant and bar overlooking the course — perfect for a drink after a round or a relaxed moment with friends. The club also hosts private and corporate events, making the most of its scenic setting.

Merci à Lake Forest Golf Club for their support and for everything they bring to the region. A partner that truly reflects the spirit we aim to celebrate.

🙌 Kudos to all the students who participated in the 1st edition of the Michigan Francophone Games on March 20th!

The goal was to learn and have fun — but let’s be honest, a little competition brings out some serious spirit too. Between the Spelling Bee and the Kahoot!, the energy went off the roof!

Congrats👏 to the winning teams (and to our brilliant emcee who kept the momentum going)!

In partnership with Wayne State University, OIF, Consulat de France in Chicago, Délégation du Québec in Chicago.
