Intersection Park, at the edge of North Corktown at Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. I like the poetry from local students at the Burton International School that surrounds the park. 9/20/23

544 East Frederick Avenue was built in 1890 for John J. Owen, a contractor/builder. Like its neighbor at 580 East Frederick (Warren House/Dunbar Hospital), it was built by the Vinton Company. Bertha Alena Hansbury was born in Detroit in 1888. Reportedly, she was born on the site of the Fox Theatre. Hansbury was the product of multi-ethnic parents, a White mother and Black father. After attending the city’s public schools, she attended the prestigious Detroit Conservatory of Music. She then studied music abroad in Germany. In 1925, Hansbury and her husband, William H. Phillips, purchased the former Owen home. Hansbury, an accomplished pianist, founded the Hansbury Music School, which catered to the needs of African American children in the area. At the same time, Hansbury also ran a boarding school inside the home called the Bertha Hansbury Little Folk's School. Unfortunately, the Hansbury School was short-lived and didn't survive the economic strife of the Great Depression. In the 1930s, the home was the site of the Household Guild, the first state-licensed employment agency for blacks in Detroit. In the 1970s, Hilanius Phillips, who was the city's first black head city planner (and the grandson of Bertha Hansbury), championed the establishment of the East Frederick Avenue Historic District, which included structures of great importance to the African American community in Detroit and to the development of the Cultural Center. Multiple attempts to convert the home into a museum have stalled. #Detroit #CulturalCenter #MidtownDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Cultural Center Historic District, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOpvtcD_Ev/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Terror” “Day after day innocent people are being deported, interrogated and tortured, put through the third degree Fundamentalist forces are undermining the integrity of liberal and democratic political structures Radical anarchists, fascists and terrorists are responsible for the violence Our societies are saturated with bloodlust, sensationalism and violence as a result of alienation from oneself's reality How much longer do we tolerate mass murder? Handcuffs and shackles won't frighten us. Neither cattle-prod nor electrical whip will silence us. We shall use all peaceful means to overcome tyranny Persist and march on. They can't use our shame against us Regardless of race, social status or gender, we're all affected I try to keep my faith alive I'm close enough to trip the wire I cannot keep my hate inside I'm gonna set myself on fire I get closer beat by beat To get the thing I really need I'm * terrified Will you be ever satisfied?” ~ 1995 KMFDM PHOTO: @picturedetroit | Christina SHOT: April 25, 2016 • • • • • #PictureDetroit #NewCenter #PleaseVote #FisherBuilding #2016TheYearThatDividedOurCountry #YourVoteCounts #YouCanMakeADifference #Democracy #DowntownDetroit #DocumentingDetroit #MidtownDetroit #VisitDetroit #PureDetroit313 #PureMichigan #KMFDM #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt #RockTheVote #Terror #InstagramClassics #ActuallyDetroit #RawDetroit #HellYeahDetroit #FineArtPhotography #InteriorDesign #Mood #MotorCityShooters #DocumentingDetroit #CityViews #MidwestPhotography (at Fisher Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIPMOTD8TN/?igshid=74x7us2toeiw

Charles W. Warren was a successful businessman in the city during the late 19th century - he was a real estate developer as well as a jeweler. Warren had a home built in an upper-class area east of Woodward. Built in 1892 by the Vinton Company, the home is a mix of the popular Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles. Following the first World War, a massive influx of black Americans seeking to escape the cruel realities of the south traveled north and west in search of a better life. This has come to be known as the "Great Migration". Detroit's African-American population soared to more than 30,000 in 1917. Unfortunately, segregation was almost as prevalent up north as in the south. Hospitals in Detroit often denied care to blacks. In 1918, 30 African-American physicians formed the Allied Medical Society. The following year, the AMS purchased the Warren House, converting it into the Dunbar Memorial Hospital, the first of its kind to serve Detroit's black citizens. The hospital also sponsored nurses training classes and internships for graduate students. Dunbar was named in honor of the great poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first black poet in the United States to obtain national prominence. In 1928, the hospital relocated to a larger facility several blocks east and was renamed Parkside. Charles C. Diggs, Sr., who would later be elected Michigan's first African-American democratic state senator, purchased the home shortly after Dunbar moved out. Mr. Diggs was also a mortician. His famed House of Diggs funeral home began here before growing into what was said to be the state's largest funeral home at one time. #Detroit #CulturalCenter #MidtownDetroit #QueenAnne #RomanesqueRevival #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Dunbar Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8JylcPavr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
