My town’s only black family came from Detroit when the grandfather’s bakery was burned in 67 and he packed up the family and moved to Jackson within days.
His son didn’t like the way the hood was going Jackson and moved his family out here several years ago.
That’s interesting because I recall the 1-94 corridor “burning” to some degree in 67 ^and^ 68; Benton Harbor, Kazoo, BC, Albion, Jacktown, Ypsi, Detroit.
That’s when these small urban enclaves got the nickname, “Little Detroit”. Albion locals use it to this day.
