Monday, June 19, 2017Detroit historian Ken Coleman. His book, Million Dollars Worth of Nerve, profiles the power-players of Paradise Valley and Black Bottom, a residential neighborhood that existed generally where Lafayette Park is now, bounded by Gratiot Avenue to the north, Congress to the south, the Grand Trunk Railroad (the present day Dequindre Cut) to the east and Brush Street to the west.Exactly where the neighborhoods started and ended is up for debate, Coleman said."It's not like these communities were codified in boundaries at City Hall. They were loose in general."Still, what's clear is that the two areas were vibrant, bustling with activity.Joe Louis co-owned a restaurant, the Brown Bomber's Chicken Shack, with Sunnie Wilson on East Vernor (it reportedly lost the legendary boxer $40,000, according to LIFE magazine).Charles Diggs, later the state's first black state senator, was a leading funeral home owner there, as was James Cole, whose funeral home business survives to this day. (Two months ago, the funeral home provided services for Orsel McGhee, who along with his wife, Minnie, were part of a landmark court case in 1948 that helped ban restrictive covenant deeds nationwide following an attempt to remove them from their house on Seebaldt Street near Grand River and Tireman.)A pair of small black-owned hot...
