"Idlewild was developed in 1912 by the Idlewild Resort Company (IRC) and marketed as 'The Black Eden of Michigan' to middle-class African-American families in the Midwest....Idlewild was an opportunity born out of adversity during the era of segregation. It survived the Great Depression, World War II, and the Civil Rights years. It thrived during economic upturns, survived during economic downturns, and today it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places"--Preface.
