The Detroit Negro Business League was a local branch of the National Negro Business League. It was founded in 1926 and was active for several years. In 1927, the league published the Classified Detroit Negro Business Directory listing over 800 enterprises and professionals in Detroit and the surrounding area.
While this organization was fairly short-lived, many of its leaders became part of the Booker T. Washington Trade Association, which was founded in 1930. - Affiliates
