The Fake Black History Month Fact(ish-like thing) #9
The First Black Moving Company
Detroit, 1972.
Ray Ray Berry and Julius “Rerun” Chambers inadvertently formed the “Right On Brothers Moving Company” when, after robbing four houses on the 700 block of Cass Avenue, neighbor Leroy Coleman Jr. was asked by a local reporter if he’d seen the perpetrators. Without hesitation Coleman offered the line that would cement Berry and Chambers’ place in black history: “Yeah, it was the Right On Brothers. They’ll move right on out your house with your TV, your stereo, your couch…all that shit.” After being arrested and serving four nondescript years in the Detroit penal system, Berry and Chambers were released on good behavior and picked up where they left off, coining the accidental nomenclature as the title and catchphrase for a legitimate furniture moving company.
Black History Month: it’s EVERYONE’S history...sort of.
