Between 1914 and 1951; Black Bottoms black community emerged out of the need for black migrants to find a place for themselves. Because of the stringent racism and discrimination in housing; blacks migrating from the South seeking employment in Detroits burgeoning industrial metropolis were forced to live in this former European immigrant community. During World War I through World War II; Black Bottom became a social; cultural; and economic center of struggle and triumph; as well as a testament to the tradition of black self-help and community-building strategies that have been the benchmark of black struggle. Black Bottom also had its troubles and woes. However; it would be these types of challenges confronting Black Bottom residents that would become part of the cohesive element that turned Black Bottom into a strong and viable community.
