Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the widespread social ills that plagued the lower Druid Hill Avenue neighborhood in Baltimore during the early 20th century. The author details the rampant drunkenness, gambling, prostitution, and drug abuse that took place in the area, and the disastrous effects these conditions had on the health and well-being of the predominantly black residents. While police and liquor boards ignored complaints from the community, the author chronicles the efforts of the Colored Law and Order League, a coalition of white and black reformers, to address these issues. They fought to close down saloons, improve sanitation, and promote economic development in the neighborhood. The book provides a unique glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of a community struggling for social justice during a time of great racial tension.
