I stumbled upon this blog, and this post is about Sugar Island, a small isle off of Grosse Ille.

Do any of our Detroit Historians know about this place?
This is a nice Detroit-based blog, with some lovely, old photos, and Detroit places. It is a nostagic portrait of a Detroit family, the Cleages. It is a really nice slice of African-American early and mid/century life in Deroit.
[Though some may find it ironic, because of the family's light skin, I note that the author's father, Rev. Albert Cleage [[whose photo as a young boy is in the blog), eventually became founder of the Shrine of the Black Madonna [[also known as Black Christian Nationalists); he changed his name to Jaramogi Abebe Agyeman during the '60's]
