Good and bad. Black people, mostly from the south migrated to Detroit, and Michigan in general ca 1910. Picking up speed in the 40's as part of the great migration to the north inclusive of New York, Chicago, Ohio, etc.

My family [maternal and paternal] were part of that - arriving mid-fifties, bringing their siblings. They would go on to varied occupations, and careers. Renting and later buying their first homes, building and buying cars, starting their families. Not always in photos but we were there.

And not a person of color in sight. The "Good Ole Days" eh? I guess they were systematically left out.
