| Summary | "Work of the Colored Law and Order League, Baltimore, Md." by James H. N. Waring is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This book documents the efforts of a group of African American leaders in Baltimore as they addressed the social issues within their communities, particularly focusing on the negative impact of saloons and vice on the wellbeing of the Colored population. The work illustrates the determination of these individuals to advocate for moral reform and better conditions for their communities. The narrative captures the formation of the Colored Law and Order League in the context of systemic challenges faced by African Americans, especially following incidents of racial violence like the Atlanta riot. The league comprised prominent local figures who investigated the adverse conditions surrounding colored neighborhoods, notably the prevalence of saloons, gambling, and their deleterious effects on youth and community morale. Through organized efforts, including petitions and collaborations with respected white citizens, the League sought legislative changes to reduce the number of saloons and improve the overall living conditions for African Americans in Baltimore. The book details their strategies, setbacks, and eventual victories in their campaign for civic betterment and racial uplift. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
