Clergy man urges segregated vice districts in Chicago
The Rev. Johnston Myora, longtime pastor, told the civil service commission he favored segregated vice zones in Chicago to curb public disorder. He described conditions in the Cottage Grove area under Captain O'Brien after his suspension for inefficiency, noting illicit activity near BYAH store fronts and disreputable operations spilling into neighboring streets and harming respectable districts. He argued that the removal or relocation of vice outlets simply shifts where harm occurs and pressures decent neighborhoods to police the problem.
