I am working on a pictorial book of the life of a Detroit Black Bottom family, mine! There are some great pics, inspiring letters, and notes. Yes, We are Risin' and Risin' Granny Ganell's first husband was Charles Wesley Jackson. The 1920 census identify him as white, Granny Ganell as black, and Charles Stonewall, and my grandmother Mary E. as mullatto. My grandmother, Mary E. was one years old at the time of the 1920 Census. Great granddaddy Charles was really a black man. He could easily pass for white and frequently used his color to advance himself for his family. Charles Jackson worked for the City of Detroit Department of Streets and Railways. He also cut hair at the family barbershop. When great granddaddy died and Granny Ganell went to get her widower's pension the city denied her application because, "Mr. Jackson is a white man, your black!", said the city official. But he didn't know Ganell Sykes Jackson, she was a woman way ahead of her time and an entrepreneur. Granny got a lawyer and got her money. Johnnie M. Calhoun, 9/5/10 interview.
My grandmother was beautiful! My grandmothter, Mary E., was the unofficial family historian and photographer. She took pictures of everyone and everything, smile.
Hangin' at Nunley's Barbershop
2630 Rivard, between Adelaide and Division, Detroit Black Bottom, June 24, 1942. Charles was my great uncle. He worked as a barber at the family owned shop, he worked in t he 3rd chair. James Nunley, Sr. (my great grandmothers second husband) worked the first chair, granny Ganell Jackson Nunley had the second chair. There were approximatetly 22 African-American barber shops in the Black Bottom at that time. The family lived in the flat above the barber shop. The area was torn down and their are food processing plants in the former location. 2630 Rivard is now a street, there is a large building in the back of the former location of 2630.
MOORE FAMILY - DETROIT BLACK BOTTOM Cousin Robert was a rich man according to my father Louis Moore. It was known throughout the family, the government found plutonium on his property and he was asked to move in 24 hours; supposedly his ancestors still receive money.
The ghetto is a place, not a lifestyle...Edeeism "I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other." Harriett Tubman No pic, no response, my preference! May you receive love and prosperity in abundance.

Places I Have Visited: create your own visited states map or check out these Google Hacks. Do not live by the standards that others set for you. The all knowing one, the most merciful one, who has 99 names, determined your path before the earth existed. Human's will try to control you through religion, jealousy, domination, intimidation, racism, misogyny, sexism, you name it. However, your mind in combination with your inner spirit is greater than any challenge to it. People will attempt to destroy your self-esteem and self-worth for their selfish needs, DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. Remember to stand strong with yourself, you do not have to beg others to accept you, because the all knowing one accepts you in all your splendor, just as you are. We are all great and glorious, thank the heavens for the inner love the Irresistible has given to you. THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE... A tendency to thing and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. A loss of interest in judging other people. A lost of interest in interpreting the actions of others. A loss of interest in conflict. A loss of ability to worry. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and frequent attacks of smiling. An increasing susceptibility to the love extended by others as an uncontrollable urge to extend it. Try Inner Peace, It Works. Why? Because in the words of Confucius, "If everybody would sweep their own yard, the whole world would be clean."
