Liberty Hall (UNIA). The Detroit division of the Universal Negro
Improvement Association was established in 1920 and was one of
the strongest chapters, growing to over five thousand members by
1922. Detroit’s UNIA purchased a building at 1516 Russell Street
to house its office, which they named Liberty Hall. The UNIA’s
Sunshine Restaurant was located nearby at 1520 Russell. - Title
