Chapter 4 was originally published as Jamie Wilson, “Individual and Organizational Responses to Health Conditions in Harlem, New York, During the Interwar Period,” Afro-Americans in New York Life and History 31, no. 1 (January 2007), © Afro-American Historical Association of the Niagara Frontier Inc. reprinted by permission of the Afro-American Historical Association of the Niagara Frontier, Inc.

Finally, I owe Staci M. Rubin a debt of gratitude that can never be paid. She endured with grace and understanding my general inattentiveness and angst.
