Fantastic profile of someone truely dedicated to preserving local history. What stands out is how Kowalski made teh museum inclusive of all Hamtramck's waves of immigration rather than just a nostalgia project for Polish heritage. I grew up around communities like this and seeing leadership that adapts to demographic change while honoring roots is pretty rare tbh.
You’ve convinced me I need to go.
I don't think you'll be sorry
