James E. Scripps was a member of the Detroit Library Commission from 1900 to 1905.

The Douglass Branch is located on the former estate of George G. Booth (James E. Scripps' son-in-law), a Detroit philanthropist, who donated his land and house to the city of Detroit in 1905 with the requirement that it become a public park and a branch library. The house was used as a public library until around 1966, when it was demolished to make way for the existing building.

The distinguishing feature of the Douglass Branch is the Frederick Douglass Mural, which depicts the meeting between Frederick Douglass and John Brown that took place in Detroit in March of 1859.

The Lafayette Park area was the first major urban renewal project in the city of Detroit. The demolition of what was then a large African-American community began in the 1950's.
