A grand opening celebration recognizing the relocation of the Jackson Home, a planning headquarters for Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement in Selma, will be held on June 11 and 12 at its new home in Michigan.

The house was moved from Selma and driven 850 miles to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.

The celebration dinner for the Dr. Sullivan & Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson Home will be held at 6 p.m. June 11 at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.
