Ads Aimed at Cleaning Atlanta Prostitution Problem
A social reform method using paid newspaper ads by Atlanta religious groups led to the closing of all houses of prostitution in the city. The Men and Religion Forward Movement funded extensive multi‑column ads titled The Houses in Our Midst, informing readers with religious and expert testimonies, and a final pledge that Atlanta should and will close the houses in our midst. The campaign spurred police action and inspired Martha Home for Women to aid unhoused workers leaving the trade.
