This photo of North Enders marching on City Hall appeared on page 18 of the 1939 Boston Herald. The protest to the Mayor’s Office was to demand that something be done about “filthy” conditions in Boston’s North End, according to the caption.
The photo later appeared on the cover of a 1990s edition of the famous sociology book Street Corner Society by William Foote White.
