Excerpt from The Negro Migrant in Pittsburgh By last spring newspaper reports of housing congestion, and of suffering from pneumonia and other diseases, and tales of the increase of crime and vice were being spread. There was spoken comment of the new situation on every hand: But these reports were inaccurate; they gave no concrete estimate of the number and character of the newcomers; and no definite state ture of their life here or the problems of community adjust ment created by the influx of strange people.
