Before Motown there was the Block Bottom neighborhood in Detroit which, in its heyday, was a center for American Black culture. Black Bottom Saints by Alice Randall introduces the reader to a who’s who of its notable residents and visitors inthe form of a wonderfully inventive book of saints--complete with suggested libations. This had me looking up many of the obscure but real characters in Detroit's history.
