Mon. Aug. 12, 9pm & Tue. Aug. 13, 8pm & 9pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Family Pictures USA journeys through a rapidly changing landscape where the hallmarks of a familiar and idealized “America” are being transformed.

Featuring North Carolina, Detroit and Southwest Florida, explore neighborhoods and cites through the lens of the family photo album. Detroit's multilayered story is revealed, from the influence of the auto industry to labor unions to the Motown sound. 

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer?
