Thank you. I guess I must have misspoke. I hate that I had an error. But, I’ll always correct if I figure it out. I really appreciate this comment. I truly do.
These stories you tell, Chris... they mean something. More often than not, once a short window of grieving and remembering passes, these lives fade from our view. You have such a unique gift of storytelling that has seen no other come close to it. I can clearly hear the awe and respect in your voice as you honor those on these journeys you take us along with you on. Just when i think you've outdone yourself on a previous journey, you come along with another journey that floods my mind with memories and takes me back to a more simpler time. I am so in awe of you, sir. Thank you so much for once again allowing me to accompany on your journeys. It means more than you can ever imagine.
Wow. David Ruffin was a seriously great singer. I was able to catch the Temptations a few years ago in concert. I couldn't believe they were still touring, and Otis Williams (founder of the Temptations) was still going strong. Bless their hearts. Rest in Peace David, your talent lives on.
I'm a Michigander, and Detroit doesn't get much good press these days. Thank you for this tour. This is a gorgeous cemetery that I wasn't aware of, having always lived in the mid to upper part of the state. Michigan has produced a lot of great entertainers, musicians and influential people. I love the way you are always respectful and tell the stories of those you visit. Thanks again.
I'm here because we laid my grandmother to rest there yesterday next to Papa. My 11 year old was so amazed by this cemetery, and even though I was explaining who some of the deceased were, he wanted to see more
Hi! Beautiful cemetery ! Thanks for the information on Rosa Parks ! Life wasn't easy back then . Aretha Franklin was a beautiful artist . Her music will live on forever ! Great vlog as always! Stay cool and keep on vlogging! Deborah. Winnipeg , Canada
A lovely video and a lovely cemetery. Rosa Parks' bus was used in the movie "The Long Walk Home" with Whoopi Goldberg and Cissy Spacek. Apparently it wasn't in great condition, so had to be towed in the scenes it was in, but still great they were able to use it at all. Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next instalment 😊
Beautiful cemetery filled with so many famous & influential people. Very peaceful resting place for all the souls buried there. Always enjoy your videos 👍
Thank you for making that link between Detroit and car manufacturers. Beautiful chapel where Rosa Parks is buried...what an inspirational life and so much achieved.
It’s a beautiful cemetery. It has a restful feeling. What l love about your Chanel you always surprise us about where you will be going next with a video. I love the variety of subjects you bring us and where it may be. I truly enjoy watching your videos and the subject. Thank you for sharing such inspiring places with me and everyone who watches your Chanel.
Another great presented cemetery video you have shown Chris, just love the respect you show and the information you provide on every one you do, a fantastic and beautiful cemetery as well from across the pond in UK
Nice vlog. I'm wondering how many people know about the teenager who refused to give up her seat 2 years before mrs rosa parks. Her name was Martha white. She died last month. She was in a nursing home. She was in her 90s I saw she had passed on legacy. She was 16 at the time. Mrs parks was 30. She should be remembered too. I'd heard about her years ago on one those programs things you didn't know. Sad she has been forgotten. 2 females did the same thing, one was a 16 year old teenager, the other a adult. Yet they were both Africian Americans, both females and both went to jail. Thanks to legacy for telling us she had passed Sad she was in a nursing home. Don't know if she had a family. I'd like to know. She deserve a marker. She's already been forgotten because very few knew about her. Not saying she's more important than mrs Rosa Parks, but just younger and did the same thing. I wonder if the NAACP know. Give this young woman acknowledgement at least. Thank you for sharing this video. Beautiful place. Love,respect and positivity always.👍💯💜🙂🌻🌷🙌🙏🙂✨🦋🌠🌟👋. Neita James. . .2
Claudette Colvin is why Rosa Parks is famous. Claudette refused her seat 9 mos before anyone heard of Rosa but was 15 and pregnant so the NAACP used Rosa Parks instead. From Claudette’s wiki; For many years, Montgomery's black leaders did not publicize Colvin's pioneering effort. Colvin has said, "Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all." Colvin's case was dropped by civil rights campaigners because Colvin was pregnant with a child out of wedlock during the proceedings. It is now widely accepted that Colvin was not accredited by civil rights campaigners at the time due to that notion, with even Rosa Parks saying "If the white press got ahold of that information, they would have [had] a field day. They'd call her a bad girl, and her case wouldn't have a chance."
At the time she was arrested she was pregnant and MLKing thought she would not be a good representative for the movement. So he choose Ms Parks instead
You always do a great job. I am looking forward to your upcoming instalments on Woodlawn Cemetary. Did you know that Aretha also was a talented piano player? She would say; Give me a note and just play the whole song singing along in the same key as the accompanying musicians. As a pianist myself I can’t tell you enough what a great ear she had. Miss Franklin was also no nonsense and gave a few interviewers some awkward moments. May she RIP
Currently visiting Detroit and also did a grave tour. The Rosa Park Chaple had the lock on it as well but when I opened the door it opened so I went in for a few moments to look around, grab a picture, and visit with Rosa. After I took the picture I heard footsteps and I knew I was the only one in there so I dipped lmao. Wasn't dealing with that🤣
Thank you for another great vlog. I wonder if that’s the cemetery my uncle is buried at. It’s been 14 yrs so not certain. It’s always so much history found in a cemetery and you’re among the best to narrate the journey. 👏🏾👏🏾
Very nice presentation. I am a big fan of Edsel Ford, a really good book called “The Arsenal of Democracy”; how they built the bombers during World War II there in Detroit. A remarkable story. Henry Ford, not so much of a fan -but yes he did perfect the assembly line processes. Great episode!!! 👍
What a lovely video as usual. Thank you again for all you do ❤️🙏 love all the history and stories... makes one take stock of their lives and reflect 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this. Such a beautiful cemetery, and it appears to be well cared for. I really like the music you use in your videos - it's very appropriate and soothing, goes well with the subject. :)
You have produced another interesting video. Thanks for the information on the graves you visit. Loved watching this one, I have several relatives who died in Detroit but I have no idea where they are buried (not listed in Find a grave) but I would hope that their final resting places are as pretty as this one.
Yeah. I don’t understand that either. There’s “lie in state” and “lie in honor”. She was in honor, maybe others were in state? Not sure. That’s a good question.
You are doing a great job remembering the dead! May they rest in peace and never be forgotten for their contributions to the world. I am new to your channel and love the respect your show in your work. I too love history.
@@Whittdocs I haven’t looked to see if anyone special is in Holy Cross Cemetery, but in my eyes it is the most beautiful I’ve ever been to. It has so many statues you can barely see through the place. It’s considered southwest Detroit I believe obviously a day time trip lol but the grounds men are around watching for trouble and are super nice
Lots of Motown people in there. Levi Stubbs(Lead singer of the Four Tops)....among his bandmates in the 4 tops(Lawrence Payton and and Obie)...Bobby Smith lead singer of the Spinners....James Jamerson....Funk brothers bass player...Alot of the Winans(Gospel family)...of course it's filled with Detroit notables...Albert Cobo....Don Barden....Alex Grosbeck....Frank Hecker....Pingree...Rapper Proof....J.L Hudson....among many others. Future resting place of Diana Ross is located in there as well(Family masoluem).
I got into Rosa parks crypt and got pictures too. The office told me the code number. I’m surprise you didn’t go to Elmwood Cemetery but this was cool to watch.
@@Whittdocs Greetings. There was once a very popular Assistant Editor of Ebony magazine named Michele Burgen who was buried at this cemetery in year 1980. She was 26 years old at the time of her murder. She was also a pilot and the president of an aviary group of Black Female Pilots called the Bessie Coleman Flight Aviators. She was also the sister of Actress Denise Nichols. Unfortunately, her murder was never solved. Is it possible that you could feature a picture of her plot sometime soon?
The cemitary right next door to woodlawns is sad to me more cause are alot of sections with overgrowth and deterated grave markers and also alot on unmarked ones that only locates threw offices there cause is totally a shame in ways its kept up
The door code to the Rosa Parks Freedom Chapel is 2468 just incase you come back. Also, Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops and the Winans (gospel singers) are in the same section as David Ruffin. Right across the road from Ruffin is Renaldo "Obie" Benson who was a member of The Four Tops. Section 40 has Lawrence Payton of The Four Tops and Roquel Billy Davis is buried right next to Payton. Pervis Jackson and Bobbie Smith are in mausoleums right outside Rosa Parks Freedom Chapel. Marvin Johnson is in the back right corner section of the cemetery. Proof from D12 is in the same chapel as Rosa Parks. Dee Williams is in the section right along the front gate of the cemetery as soon as you pull in. There are many more that I have visited there as I'm from the area and I'm always showing new people the graves. Beautiful cemetery.
I wish you would have let us in Michigan know you were coming. We would have shown you all the spots the living would go such as the playing field of the Tigers and Lions. We could take you to the other side of the state to the Gerald Ford Museum and his final resting place for him and Betty Betty Ford. Scott on Tape visited there during the pandemic and it was closed. Hope to meet WittDocs someday and it would be our pleasure. As we say say in Michigan, "See ya later".
I expected Detroit to be more of a place with sky scrapers and large buildings. I expected all of Detroit to be like downtown Detroit, where one wouldn’t find many trees or landscapes.
Correction: Aretha Franklin passed away on August 16, 2018... not August 13.
Respectful

Great timing. I was just researching famous graves in Detroit. This cemetery is on my To Visit List when I go to Michigan later this year!
I would highly recommend this one. There’s another one that I will be featuring soon, but the name escapes me. Thanks for watching.

I knew that she played, yes. She was such an amazing talent. Thank you for the comments always. And the kind words.
If I am correct they say Aretha could not read music at all; but, she had a outstanding ear for music and was a prodigy at PLAYING THE PIANO!
David Ruffin could have went far in music as a singer; but, his arrogance, addiction, abuse of women, and pride is what brought him death.
Currently visiting Detroit and also did a grave tour. The Rosa Park Chaple had the lock on it as well but when I opened the door it opened so I went in for a few moments to look around, grab a picture, and visit with Rosa.

Beautiful place. Wasn't a woman worthy to be in the capital rotunda until 2005? That really surprised me. Glad Miss Parks made it.
Yeah. I don’t understand that either. There’s “lie in state” and “lie in honor”. She was in honor, maybe others were in state? Not sure. That’s a good question.

Thanks for this comment.
Good video. Why are you wearing shades?
No reason in particular. I used to wear them all the time in my videos. Decided to bring them back.
I’m curious to why you made the statement that you didn’t expect to find this in Detroit ???? Detroit has a lot of beautiful locations …
I expected Detroit to be more of a place with sky scrapers and large buildings. I expected all of Detroit to be like downtown Detroit, where one wouldn’t find many trees or landscapes.
