The Unity Club was a safe and welcoming place for Black Milwaukee youth from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Customers remember Miss Tony and Miss Racine "holding court" and creating space for youngsters. It was later known as "Duke's Unity Club." The building was demolished in 2025. We welcome any available information about this location and its owners.
