Journalist Karen Hudson Samuels remembered as curator of Black history and Detroit culture
As a child, Karen Hudson Samuels had a front row seat to racial segregation when she attended school in North Carolina.
Decades later, Mrs. Samuels would become a curator of Black History and culture in Detroit, helping to preserve buildings and other sites that played a role
in Detroit s African American history.
Mrs. Samuels, a former Detroit television anchor and historian, died suddenly Feb. 9. The cause of death has not yet been determined. She was 68.
Funeral services were held Friday.
Earlier this month, Mrs. Samuels efforts to preserve Detroit s Black History paid off when the WGPR-TV broadcast museum she founded and curated was designated to the National Register of Historic Places.
