mar 1, 1961 - Opal goes to relatives

Description:

By 1961, Berry Gordy’s Motown was making Americans notice Detroit for more than automobiles, with big hits by the Miracles and the Marvelettes. That same year, Ruby Robinson sent her two daughters, then fourteen and twelve, on a Trailways bus heading south, to spend the first of three summers with relatives from whom she had been estranged.
