Lisa Marie Hoefener, 19 (USA 1970)

“Even though I was still wet behind the ears, I know that this pale, frightened little girl was still 10 weeks pregnant and her blood count was only half of what it should be. The private, attending doctor came in and took the patient to surgery immediately that night, where he repaired the hole that had been torn in the back of her uterus, which had caused her massive internal hemorrhage.

Over the course of the next few days, infection set in which did not respond to antibiotics, and we made the painful decision to perform a hysterectomy. Tragically, the shock from the infection severely damaged her lungs and her course was steadily downhill. As I helplessly watched, she slipped into unconsciousness and a few days later she died.”

— Dr. Paul Jarrett, one of the doctors who tried to save Lisa.

Many women and girls were killed by legal abortion before Roe v. Wade. California and New York’s laws legalized abortion early, killing people from across the country as they were attracted by the lure of abortion tourism.

One of these people was 19-year-old Lisa Marie Hoefener. She was an intelligent student who was well-known in Shelbyville, where she’d lived with her family until she left for college. She was a graduate of Shelbyville High School, where she won the Vestavna Award as the highest-ranking girl scholar and winner of the PPG Industries Scholarship. At SHS, she served as chairman of the Teenagers' Program for the March of Dimes Foundation in Shelby County and helped with the Sunshine Society program for Danny Thomas' St. Jude's Hospital Fund. She was named a Hoosier Scholar for two years in a row at Indiana University, where she was enrolled when she died.

The intelligent and hard-working teenage girl was a sophomore in college when she became pregnant. Lisa didn’t know what to do, and she ended up on a plane to New York for a “safe and legal” abortion.

The abortionist began the first-trimester suction and curettage abortion, but did not remove the placenta or any part of Lisa’s baby. He told Lisa that she wasn’t pregnant in the first place (indicating that she hadn’t been examined) and sent her home.

When she got back to Indianapolis, Lisa suffered from vomiting, nausea and intense abdominal pain. She was admitted to the Indiana University Medical Center’s William G. Coleman hospital. A doctor performed a laparotomy with disturbing results.

Lisa actually was pregnant, approximately 10 weeks along. Her baby was still inside her uterus, which had a hole ripped in it.

Emergency surgery was done to fix the hole in Lisa’s uterus, but she was already sick and suffered from respiratory shock. She’d been bleeding internally and her blood count was dangerously low. Lisa’s condition deteriorated and the infection resisted antibiotics. She had to undergo a hysterectomy, but the shock from her infection damaged her lungs so severely that she developed bilateral pneumonia. There was nothing the doctors could do to save Lisa and they could only watch as the terrified girl died slowly and painfully.

Lisa Marie was referred to as Yvonne Roe by researchers until she was identified through death records and her death certificate.

Maternal Mortality Associated With Legal Abortion in New York State: Jul. 1, 1970 – Jun. 30, 1972; Berger, Tietze, Pakter, Katz, Obstetrics and Gynecology, 43:3, March 1974, 324.

biography:

Shelby Lattimore came from a large family, something she always cherished. Her older siblings helped care for each other as much as her parents did, and she loved that sense of closeness. As a child, she'd pretend that her big family was part of some wild story playing out on a movie screen for the world to see. As she grew older, that fantasy faded, but she always felt that her family's tale would make for a great story to be told for the ages.

Shelby adored her parents and followed her father around like a shadow when she was little until her mother passed away. After that, Shelby wanted to be like her father – to be as good a person as he was. She remained his little shadow for many years, until middle school, when she began to explore her own hobbies: painting, baking, and sports. She discovered a love for softball and volleyball and had a blast playing them, though they never became her life's passion.

Finding her true calling was tough for Shelby, as she enjoyed so many things: baking and cooking, sports, art, and even music. She may not have excelled at everything, but she loved doing it all because she had such a good time. Through it all, her father and family made sure they stayed close, always ready to help each other and others.

In high school, Shelby experienced her share of ups and downs, especially when she started dating. She had some good times and fell hard for her first boyfriend, but after nearly a year, he cheated on her. That broke her heart, and Shelby sank into depression for about a year. Thankfully, her family was there to help her through it, and eventually, she began to heal.

She dated on and off through the rest of high school, nothing too serious until a boy moved to town her senior year. Suddenly, she felt like she was in a movie again – he came from a nice, large, well-off family, and their families clicked. They dated through most of her senior year and into college, even moving in together. He talked about how after college, they'd settle down so he could pursue his dream job working for his family. But then he insisted that Shelby undergo a full health screening to make sure everything was perfect. For the most part, Shelby was as healthy as could be, but one thing came up: she was unable to have kids of her own. That brought her boyfriend to a screeching halt – he wanted children of his own, no hassle involved, so he walked away from her just a few months into college.

Devastated, Shelby threw herself into her college coursework, determined to excel. She focused on her studies and stayed close to her family, not bothering with dating or partying. But after a year, she began to venture out more, make new friends, and find happiness again. She even met a guy she dated for two years and fell in love with. But like before, he wanted to move closer to his own family, and Shelby couldn't bring herself to leave hers, so she ended things with him. Still, college flew by, and Shelby graduated near the top of her class with her Master's in Social Work and became a licensed clinical social worker.

It didn't take her long to find a job in her hometown, and she was thrilled to stay near her family, who meant the world to her. The work was challenging at first, as she adjusted to her new role, but after a few years, she grew to love it and excelled. She became the person everyone turned to for guidance and for teaching the ropes to newcomers. Shelby was passionate about her job, especially when it came to placing kids in good homes. She fought tirelessly to ensure every child in her care found a safe, loving environment, and many of those she worked with ended up getting adopted.

During a foster and adoption event a few years ago she met Carlos who was working at the event and was there to see what it all had to offer. They started talking and became friends quickly. There was just something about him Shelly couldn’t help herself but want to be around. They became friends quickly and talked a lot getting to know each other. She knew that Carlos wanted to get into the foster process and she helped him do it. It helped them bond and get close. Soon after Carlos was able to take in kids she found a boy that needed a lot of help. Thomas was a good boy, but he had a lot of trauma in his life and needed the right type of help and Shelly knew Carlos was the right person for it. Carlos took Thomas in and it helped even though it took some time for them both. But it worked out that Carlos and Thomas became their own family and Caros ended up adopting Thomas.

Shelly was there as a friend at first, then they started dating and Shelly was happy. Carlos was the person who made her happy and didn't mind what her history was and what she couldn't do. After time Shelly moved in with Carlos and Thomas and they became a family. Shelly wasn’t Thomas's mother but was there for support and helped him out. They have been doing this for the past 4 years as family of their own. Shelly and Carlos are in no rush to get married and it isn’t in the works. They both think they don't need it and are happy just dating.

pets: Daisy May

town activities: aqua avengers, hands on kismet harbor, joyous journeys, knit happens

draw of luck: Yes please

14 Lesser-Known African American Historical Sites in Detroit | Visit Detroit

1.4 miles. That is the short distance that stood between many 19th century Black Americans and freedom in Canada.

For many runaway slaves, the shores of the Detroit River would be their last glimpse of life in the country that enslaved them.

Detroit’s history as a stop on the Underground Railroad is only one aspect of our city’s invaluable Black history.

Some of Detroit’s historical landmarks are well-known. Places like the Charles H. Wright Museum, and Second Baptist Church are not to be missed on any visit to our city. But, for those who would like an even deeper dive in Detroit’s Black history. Here’s a list of some of our faves.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom to see all of these sites mapped out for easy itinerary planning.

1.The Offices of the Detroit Plaindealer

1114 Washington Blvd., Detroit, MI 48226

An independent African American newspaper, The Detroit Plaindealer, published its first issue in May of 1863. It closed up shop somewhere around 1895.

Published by brothers Benjamin and Robert Pelham Jr. - alongside Walter H. Stowers and W.H. Anderson - The Plaindealer was the African American voice. “That was our voice,” explained Kimberly Simmons, chair of the Detroit Historical Society’s Black Sites Committee and president of the Detroit River Project, to The Huffington Post. “You had a whole group of people here, and the only way they knew what was going on was the Plaindealer. So it was a huge deal.”

The newspaper’s office was located on the southwest corner of Shelby and State Street. That space is currently occupied by the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel. A marker was recently erected to denote the historical relevance.

2. The Alger Theater

16451 E. Warren Ave., Detroit, MI 48224

While it has largely been white-owned, The Alger Theater served what evolved into the diverse historic neighborhood of Morningside located on the near-Eastside of the city.

One of only two remaining intact and unchanged neighborhood theaters, the Alger Theater was granted historic designation in 2009. The designation saved the theater from demolition.

Historically, it was a movie house that eventually showed B-movies in the late-70s and early 80s. However, earlier in its life, popular jazz acts like Dave Brubeck and the Duke Ellington Orchestra played in the 800-plus seat theater.

The Friends of the Alger Theater is a 25-year-old active non-profit organization committed to making the historic theater an anchor of this evolving neighborhood.

3. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity House

293 Eliot St., Detroit, MI 48201

The home of Gamma Lambda Chapter, the 100-year-old Alpha House near downtown Detroit is home to the third oldest alumni chapter in the history of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

The building was built in 1919 and the fraternity purchased it in 1939. It is currently the meeting location, a museum, and event space for the organization.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is the oldest Black Greek Letter Organization in history. It was founded in 1906.

4. Elmwood Cemetery

1200 Elmwood St., Detroit, MI 48207

One of the first fully-integrated cemeteries in the Midwest, Elmwood Cemetery is the resting place for a number of iconic Black Detroiters.

Former mayor, Coleman A. Young; Fannie Richards, Detroit’s first African American school teacher in the public school system; and Dudley Randall, Detroit’s former Poet Laureate, are all resting in this historic location.

Elmwood Cemetery and the Historic Elmwood Foundation launched a self-guided African American History Tour in 2015.

5. Algiers Motel Location

8301 Woodward Ave., Detroit, MI 48202

Three people were killed throughout the night of July 25-26, 1967, at the Algiers Motel in an incident during one of the darkest times in Detroit history. A period that the city has still not truly healed from.

As the 1967 rebellion raged in Detroit, several Black male youths and white women were listening to music inside the motel. One youth fired a starter pistol into the air which drew the attention of nearby officers believing they were dealing with many armed rioters.

The resulting police clash and deaths and wounding of seven others enraged the already tense community. The legacy of the Algiers Motel has been preserved in stage plays and films including the 2017 movie, Detroit.

6. The Shrine of the Black Madonna

7625 Linwood St., Detroit, MI 48206

Founded in 1967 by Albert B. Cleage, The Shrine of the Black Madonna was established as a segment of the Black Christian Nationalist Movement. The church is known for its recognition to center African Americans within the Christian narrative – a narrative that was often rooted in white supremacy.

Since its founding, the congregation at The Shrine of the Black Madonna became a powerhouse in Detroit politics instrumental in the mayoral elections of Coleman A. Young and Kwame M. Kilpatrick.

The Shrine also has a dynamic bookstore that is essential for any visitor to the historic site. The store features new and rare books on Black history and culture.

7. Masjid Wali Muhammad

11529 Linwood St., Detroit, MI 48206

Linwood Street was the site and home of much of the pan-African and Black nationalist movement. One important site is this historic masjid. This location was initially established as Temple #1 of the Black Muslim movement, The Nation of Islam.

The Nation of Islam moved into this space in 1959 and was designated a historic site in 2013.

The location was renamed in the late 70s after the death of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The name, Masjid Wali Muhammad was chosen in honor of the brother of Elijah Muhammad and designated a “masajid” the Arabic word for the place of worship for Muslims.

8. King Solomon Church

6100 14th St., Detroit, MI 48208

Founded in 1926, King Solomon Baptist Church has been an important center of Black life in Detroit since its founding.

The church was the site of one of the first Boy Scout troops for Black Detroiters. It was also a community center for the neighborhood. Youth outreach programs, like a boxing program led by the legendary Emmanuel Stewart, was where world champion boxer, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns got his start.

The church was also the home of a number of gospel acts including Reverend James Cleveland and The Supremes. The church, which has 5000-seats, has also been the location of a number of historical Black speeches including two appearances by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

9. Submerge Record Distribution

3000 E. Grand Blvd., Detroit, MI 48202

The world headquarters of Underground Resistance is also home to the Detroit Techno Museum.

Original records from the height of the era, including gold and platinum plaques, are on display inside the museum. It should be noted that it is only available by appointment.

The museum has been called a “mecca for true techno fans” and the music, which reflected the grime of Detroit in the 1980s. John Collins, a DJ and producer told Detroit Metro Times that techno music, which is renowned around the world, was created to give listeners “hope for the future, that things will get better.”

10. Plowshares Theatre Company

440 Burroughs St. #185., Detroit, MI 48202

Founded in 1989, the Plowshares Theatre Company has been offering a true off-Broadway experience as Michigan’s only professional African American theatre company.

The company has dedicated itself to “breaking new ground” by nurturing emerging, talented writers and actors. Named after a blade that cuts the top layer of soil in a farm, the name Plowshares refers back to the work that enslaved people did on plantations.

Producer Gary Anderson wrote that Plowshares is important because when African Americans can see themselves in artistic endeavors, like plays, it is a validation of life.

11. Dr. Ossian Sweet House

2905 Garland St., Detroit, MI 48214

This historic site does appear on a number of must-see lists for visitors to Detroit, but it remains worth mentioning again.

In September of 1925, Dr. Ossian Sweet and his wife Gladys moved into their home on Garland St., and within hours a neighborhood group gathered to run the couple out of the home. A mob of at least 400 people gathered the next night throwing stones at the house.

Someone inside the house fired shots from a second-floor window hitting a rioter who had come onto the porch and wounded another in the crowd. All of the Black people in the house were charged with murder.

Dr. Sweet was acquitted of charges after being represented by the illustrious Charles Darrow. Charges against the rest of the group were dropped. However, Mrs. Sweet contracted tuberculosis in jail and died, along with the couple’s two-year-old daughter. And years later, Sweet took his own life.

The home represents the challenges that African Americans in Detroit had in moving into primarily white neighborhoods. The city is now majority Black.

12. Whipping Post

The Southeast corner of Woodward and Jefferson Avenues

This site was the location of Detroit’s first and only whipping post. The post was used to flog thieves and vagabonds, in protection of the city’s moral codes.

The whipping post was also a location where a man could be sold for a number of days work for petty crimes although slavery was illegal in the state of Michigan.

The legacy of the whipping post is still little-known. However, it is reasonable to assume that Black Detroiters, prior to 1830 when the post was removed, were punished at the post. It is mapped on the Mapping Slavery in Detroit map created by the University of Michigan.

13. Second Baptist Church

441 Monroe St., Detroit, MI 48226

Second Baptist Church is the oldest Black-established church in the Midwest. Founded in 1836, Second Baptist Church was a station on the Underground Railroad. The church was a final stop for some 5,000 enslaved people giving them food and clothing before sending them on to Canada.

14. Elizabeth Denison Forth’s House

328 Macomb, Detroit, MI 48226

Born a slave near Detroit in 1786, Elizabeth (Lisette) Denison Forth won her freedom after she and her brother moved to Canada to establish residency, which guaranteed that they would not be returned to their previous slave owner.

Lisette became a domestic servant, but she invested all of her pay into purchasing land. She became the first Black property owner in Pontiac, Michigan. She invested in the stock market and real estate and ultimately her own home became a Michigan Historic Site.

The front doors of St. James Episcopal Church is dedicated to Lisette who was a devout Episcopalian. She dedicated her life savings of $1,500 in 1866 to the building of the church.

In 2017, she was added to the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame for her dedication to freedom and for equality among the rich and poor.
