Born in a plank house in Jane Alley, in a neighbourhood so rough it was called the Battlefield, and sent at eleven to the Colored Waif's Home, where they handed him a cornet. The alley itself was cleared for a police complex. A marker stands near the site.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: documented spot
