Plans are underway for the Museum of Detroit Electronic Music, which will preserve and celebrate Detroit's legacy as the birthplace of techno music and hip-hop culture. American Black Journal host Stephen Henderson sits down with the museum's founder and executive director, Adriel Thornton, to talk about how techno was created by a group of African American teenagers in Detroit and achieved global popularity.

Watch "One Detroit" Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET and Sundays at 9:30 a.m. ET on Detroit PBS (Channel 56). Stream "One Detroit" on-demand on the PBS App, YouTube TV, Hulu, and more.
