Listen Later

What's up, fam! Donna is still on vacation so Orlando is hosting solo this week! He goes one on one with Detroit Griot and Historian Jamon Jordan. A new historical marker has been erected that acknowledges the old Black Bottom neighborhood in what is now Lafayette Park. Jamon gives us a historical account of Black Bottom and how the process he and others went through to acknowledge the now razed Black Bottom.
