  Our
Lady of Victory—The Saga of an African American Catholic Community is a
compilation of memories, research, photos and
interviews. The author’s recollections are recalled about
growing up surrounded by so much history in this church founded in
1943 after the worse race riot in Detroit’s history. A school was built in
1954. A cement wall constructed by racist government policies to separate
the races makes for fascinating reading. It is the story of a once thriving
Catholic community whose history was wiped out with a merger and the
author’s determination to get it back.
