What Is PARKSIDE???
Before The Detroit Public Housing Projects We Had Hastings Street, Paradise Valley Black Bottom Community, ROOTS And Legacy...
The History And Legacy Of Detroit Public Housing Projects, PARKSIDE Was The First Housing Projects, Built Around 1933 For Military Personnel And Their Families, That Consist Of The Majority Of Caucasian Families, With A Handful Of African American Married Couples, Budd And Chrysler Plant Families.
PARKSIDE Had The Full Support Of The First African American (Mayor) Coleman A. Young And His Detroit City Council.
Our Historic Recreation Center (The Rec) Was The First Home To The Legendary (Trainer/Mentor) Teddy (Farmer) Wright, Emanuel M. Steward And The (Boxer) Thomas "Hitman" Hearns And Other Champion Boxers, The "Rec" Center Was Also The Talent Platform For Many Talented PARKSIDERS Including The Soulful Gospel Group The Trumpeteers With Vivian Jones And The Inspiring Internationally Known Gospel Family/Group The Winans And Some Of The Earlier Rhythm And Blues Parkside Legends... The Fascinations And The Young Sirs (The Gaslights)... Along With Upcoming And Now Motortown To MOTOWN Artists/Performers/Entertainers And Sammy Davis Jr.
PARKSIDE Has Survived, Overcame And Broken Race Boundaries, Through The Detroit Civil Rights Era, With One Race Riot That Occurred In 1943. And One Civil Disturbance Riot, That Occurred In 1967.
During The 60's And 70's Parkside Community Mentors Mr. Easel, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Blackwell, Mr. Jeff, Mr. King, Mrs. Smiley And Miss. Bell, Had United Together With The Community Neighborhood Organization (NSO), To Help Establish And Organize The First Parkside Community Boycott And Fought Against The Detroit Public School District, For African American Parkside Community Children.
To Receive Fair Bus Stop Route, Pick-Ups And Drop-Offs. And Have Parkside Children Receive The Same Opportunity, Respect And Courteous Treatment As Other Cultural Children In Surrounding Neighborhoods.
Despite Of It's Trials, Tests And Tribulations. Many Have Overcame, Triumph And Conquered Beyond These Brick Walls. And Became Successful Men And Women In Our Society.
Still, Today. This Historic Landmark Remains Standing. It Has Endured And Sustained Over Nine Decades Of Strength, Dignity And Tranquility.
Now, Currently Known As The Village Of Parkside. Our Parkside Community, Continues To Be A Pillar Of Strength, Unity And Love.
