Between 1914 and 1951, Black Bottoms black community emerged out of the need for black migrants to find a place for themselves. Because of the stringent racism and discrimination in housing, blacks migrating from the South seeking employment in Detroits burgeoning industrial metropolis were forced to live in this former European immigrant community. During World War I through World War II, Black Bottom became a social, cultural, and economic center of struggle and triumph, as well as a testament to the tradition of black self-help and community-building strategies that have been the benchmark of black struggle. Black Bottom also had its troubles and woes. However, it would be these types of challenges confronting Black Bottom residents that would become part of the cohesive element that turned Black Bottom into a strong and viable community.

Several people provided indispensable aid and support in the writing of this book. Elizabeth Clemens, audio-archivist for Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University; Mark Patrick, coordinator for special collections at Detroit Public Library; and Karen L. Jania, division head for Bentley Historical Collections at University of Michigan, gave me their prompt service and undivided attention. Thanks to my editor, Anna Wilson, for her unending guidance and direction. Special thanks to my eternal friend Maia Bass for her gracious hospitality during those chilly winter months spent in Detroit and Dearborn conducting research for this book. Super thanks to former Black Bottom resident Ms. Billie Jimerson, for inviting me into her home for coffee, cigarettes, and reminiscences on good times in Black Bottom. Extra thanks to Mary Patterson at Cup O Karma Caf in Mesa, Arizona. Thanks to Bernadette Nellum. See you at Venice Beach!
I thank my family and friends, Taji, Mal, Elon, John, Lisa, Helen, Sharonda, LJ, Sparkle, Larry Lucido, Seven, Dee, Kevin, Dwayne, and Chyna for lending time and attention to my random discussions and rants on Black Bottom history.
Lastly, a great amount of recognition is due to the vicious circle: Glenda, Erick, Michelle, Dean, Rowena, Janine, Misty, Yvonne, and Dee Wilkins. Your insightful blogs and fruitful discussions helped me to sharpen my wits, expand my ideas, and deepen my historical perspectives.
