Nacirema Club, Historic social club in Detroit, United States.
The two-story brick building features a ballroom, dining room, and spacious lobby designed in American Foursquare style architecture.
Founded in 1922 by Raymond H. Menard and Julian Archer, the Nacirema Club became the first African American social club established in Michigan.
The club provided professional African American men a space for networking and social gatherings during a period of racial segregation in Detroit.
Located at 6118 30th Street, the club remains available for community events, wedding receptions, anniversary celebrations, and social functions.
The name Nacirema, which spells American backwards, reflects the members' assertion of their national identity during times of societal exclusion.
