This is a story of a man who's fascinated me, haunted me really, for most of my life. His name was Sweet Daddy Grace. He was ahead of his time, a Cape Verdean immigrant who built a fortune as a black man during Jim Crow, during the Depression. But today, outside of his church, not too many people know about the man affectionately known as Sweet Daddy Grace.
Speaker 9
He raced, sort of wiped out, and I wonder if this was done intentionally.
Speaker 8
And there's one more piece of the puzzle. My cousins always said that we were related to Daddy Grace. But here's where things get murky. Every time I ask the elder members of our family, they flatly denied it. My

dad kind of looked at him like in the devil.
