Growing Up in Fairfield, California, California, Paperback

Growing Up in Fairfield, California, California, Paperback A magic nostalgia ride awaits.Life in Fairfield in the decades after World War II was an unparalleled experience. From cruising down Texas Street on weekends to catching a carnival in the Wonder World parking lot, fond memories of long-lost times haven’t been forgotten. People flocked to vintage eateries like Joe’s Buffet and Smorga Bob’s, and played on the rocket ship slide at Allan Witt Park. Roller Rinks like the M&M Skateway hosted not just skaters, but dances featuring Fats Domino and Roy Orbison. Commuters hopped aboard the FART bus to save on gas, and frequenting Dave’s Giant Hamburgers was a rite of passage. Longtime Daily Republic journalist and accidental historian Tony Wade takes a deep dive into the Fairfield of yesteryear.

Detroit’s Sojourner Truth Housing Riot of 1942, Michigan, American Heritage, Pap

Detroit’s Sojourner Truth Housing Riot of 1942, Michigan, American Heritage, Pap During World War II, no American city suffered a worse housing shortage than Detroit, and no one suffered that shortage more than the city’s African American citizens. In 1941, the federal government began constructing the Sojourner Truth Housing Project in northeast Detroit to house 200 black war production workers and their families. Almost immediately, whites in the neighborhood vehemently protested. On February 28, 1942, a confrontation between black tenants and white protesters erupted in a riot that sent at least 40 to the hospital and more than 220 to jail. This confrontation was the precursor to the bloodiest race riot of the war just sixteen months later. Gerald Van Dusen, author of 2020 Michigan Notable Books nominee Detroit’s Birwood Wall, unfolds the background and events of this overlooked moment in Motor City history.
