“Who shall let this world
be beautiful? Who shall restore to men the glory
of sunsets
and the peace of quiet sleep?” ~ WEB Dubois, 1926
W.E.B.
Dubois’ questions are the challenge that The Hush House has taken up and inspires our mission, as Dubois charged: “…to
begin this great work of the creation of beauty, of the preservation of beauty of the realization of beauty.” Our mission
is birthed by the community, in the community and through community collaboration. Our collective vision
demands that we never loose sight of hope; for it is through hope that we “see
things as though they were.” And it is because we collectively choose the beauty of hope that our collaborative visions
of “creation,” “preservation” and “realization,” inspirereplicable solutions as our “great work” to improve the lives of everyday people, like you, like us.
We are located in one of the poorest post industrial communities of Detroit, MI.
USA.In this space ofdeep depravation
and divine possibility, The Hush House brings together communities of experience constituted by regular people who we meet
every day, people like you, people like us. Together, we become the solution to every challenge that works to diminish our
humanity through our quality of living.
We
are educators and community advocates who are committed to global community building as it relates to social, education, economic
and environmental justice.
