Says artist Olayami Dabls, founder of Detroit’s MBAD African Bead Museum, “I decided that I would open up an African Bead Museum, specially learning that the beads embodied the culture and the history of the people. And that’s something that was missing in the history of Africans in this country.” The museum is located in one of Detroit’s most distressed neighborhoods, and for two decades has provided something else that was missing, stability.
