Wasn’t revealed until after Illitch died, more than a decade after Parks passed. Those who knew respected both Parks’s and Illitch’s request to keep it secret.

Mike Illitch also happily took heaps of public tax money in Detroit to build private businesses and push many working Detroiters, mostly Black folks, out of the city. He’s a POS and this one act doesn’t redeem him.
