WELCOME TO NZINGA LEJEUNE ®

BASED ON A TRUE STORY SET IN THE 1930'S ABOUT HOW A GROUP OF AFRICAN- AMERICAN WOMEN BURNED DOWN A MEAT PACKING INDUSTRY DEMANDING “DON’T SHOP WHERE YOU’RE NOT HIRED” ORGANIZING ECONOMIC UNITY.
___________

Ruth and her family recently moved from the south to bustling Detroit, Michigan with aspirations of creating a business for themselves but when a meat packing plant fires all the black men in the community, The Detroit Housewives' League takes charge with demands of their own.
____________

During the 1930's in an area of Detroit called Black Bottom over 300 black businesses thrived but not without resentment.  An auxiliary organization of the Booker T. Washington Trade Association was created by Fannie Peck with fifty women called The Detroit Housewives' League.  An organization that grew to 10,000 members organizing black women to have the largest boycott of a meat factory in the United States.  A story untold and unknown by many created economic unity in the black community.
