Detroit's International Afro-American Museum, organized by Dr. Charles H. Wright, a black gynecologist, is a trailer that tours schools. Among its exhibits: African statues from the collection of G.

They danced in movie theaters, veterans' halls and gymnasiums; music was provided by a borrowed tape recorder or one of the dancers who dashed to a piano between his numbers. To ensure their footing, they often had to sprinkle a tacky coating...
