Black Bottom | Episode 4934/Segment 2

The rich history of Detroit’s predominantly African American neighborhood known as Black Bottom is being celebrated with the installation of a Michigan historic marker. The area was home to several prosperous black businesses and residents, until it was demolished in the late 1950’s to early 1960’s to make way for interstate 375 and the Lafayette Park residential district.
