DETROIT ? If you’re unemployed and living in metro Detroit, or if you’d a professional who would like to work in Detroit, #313DLove on March 13 at the Charles Wright Museum is free for you.

A small donation is, however, requested since most of the net proceeds go to a group of Detroit-area charities. The ticket is $31.13 in advance or at the door for those who can afford it.

Reinventing the “D” from within is the mission of #313DLove. On March 13 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, #313DLove will host area Detroiters in celebrating the Motor City?s 313 years of perseverance. Thirteen triumphant speakers will enlighten the audience with their insights on leadership, creativity, community and entrepreneurship in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art General Motors Theater.

Tickets include a stroll through the world’s largest institution dedicated to the African American experience from either 11:30 am ? 12:30 pm or 5 pm to 6 pm. In the early evening, a celebratory afterglow will be held in the Ford Freedom Rotunda until 8:30 pm. A percentage of#313DLove net proceeds will be shared among wonderful community organizations such as Project Forgive, Operation KidEquip, Motor City Blight Busters, and Suits for Soldiers.

?In 2012 we got the #313Dlove to trend worldwide on Twitter. No easy task,? said Terry Bean, who also founded Motor City Connect, a pioneering business networking group who meet online and in the real world. ?We trended again in 2013. The idea was to get people to say what they love about Detroit. And we’ll do it again this year. Instead of just tweeting, we are inviting people to join us for a day filled with inspirational discussions from people making it happen in our area.?

The afternoon will be filled with inspirational stories from local professionals, artists, non-profit execs and thought leaders such as Leslie Smith President and CEO at TechTown, Shawne Duperon, ‎6-Time EMMY? Winning Media Coach and Project Forgive Founder, Hajj Flemings.
