When the boll weevils ate the cotton and poor soil produced low yielding food crops, the blended family of Pat Brooks and Lillie (nee Reese) Barrow Brooks relocated to Detroit. They settled in Brewster Housing Project where rents were low and dreams were high.

The subject's children include the legendary world boxing champion "Joe Louis" Barrow.

Although she introduced this son to violin lessons, he sneaked to a gym where he began to box.
