Bristol is the head bellhop at the Fairfax Hotel where Sweet works one summer. He tells Sweet that it is only in a city like Detroit that Southern blacks could hope to get ahead. He eventually opens a funeral parlor. Bristol owns an apartment building in an all-white neighborhood that he eventually moves into. He faces mob action but stays there.
