The article presents the text of a 1918 speech by United States President Woodrow Wilson in which he outlined fourteen points he believed would put those involved in World War I on the road to lasting peace. Wilson's first point urges for open peace treaties and no private international understandings; diplomacy should be frank and within the public view. Second, he urges freedom of navigation on the sees outside territorial waters. Third, he urges the removal of all economic barriers and equal trade conditions among all nations. In his fourth point, Wilson asks for national disarmaments to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. Fifth, Wilson asks for an impartial adjustment of all colonial claims in such a way that the populations concerned have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. Points six through thirteen concern Russia, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Romania, Turkey, and Poland, respectively. The fourteenth point calls for a general association of nations formed under covenants for the purpose of guaranteeing political independence and territorial integrity of all nations.

As part of the great migration of southern blacks to the north, Sunnie Wilson came to Detroit from South Carolina after graduating from college, and soon became a pillar of the local music industry. He started out as a song and dance performer but found his niche as a local promoter of boxing, which allowed him to make friends and business connections quickly in the thriving industrial city of Detroit. Part oral history, memoir, and biography, Toast of the Town draws from hundreds of hours of taped conversations between Sunnie Wilson and John Cohassey, as Wilson reflected on the changes in Detroit over the last sixty years. Supported by extensive research, Wilson's reminiscences are complemented by photographs from his own collection, which capture the spirit of the times.Through Sunnie Wilson's narrative, Detroit's glory comes alive, bringing back nights at the hopping Forest Club on Hastings Street, which hosted music greats like Nat King Cole and boasted the longest bar in Michigan, and sunny afternoons at Lake Idlewild, the largest black resort in the United States that attracted thousands every weekend from all over the Midwest. An influential insider's perspective, Toast of the Town fills a void in the documented history of Detroit's black and entertainment community from the 1920s to the present.
