description R.R. Wright, Jr. came north to Philadelphia in the 1910s to pursue higher education. J. Hampton Moore secured votes in the 1919 mayoral election from black Philadelphians through promises of change and earned the allegiance of black civil leaders like Wright to boost his reputation with the black population. In 1920, Moore asked Wright to survey housing conditions and make suggestions for improvement.<br /> <br /> Letter from Mrs. M.E. Thompson Coppin, wife of Bishop Coppin and president of the Woman&#39;s Christian Alliance Center<br /> Mrs. Coppin&#39;s letter to J. ampton Moore references R.R. Wright, Jr.&#39;s attempts to aid Moore in ridding Philadelphia of vice. The letter sheds light onto the general fear of citizens, both black and white, in the proximity of criminal behavior, specifically prostitution.
