On this day in 1925:
Ossian Sweet, a black physician, moves into his 2905 Garland Street home—an all-white neighborhood. Race-related violence takes place the following day as a group of hostile whites gather at Sweet's home. A white man is fatally shot. pic.twitter.com/I36ZvNSPhK— Ken Coleman (@HistoryLivesDet) September 8, 2018
