Mayfair brings Nation of Islam in to help push out drug dealers (jan 1, 1988 – jan 1, 1988)
Description:
at the tenants' invitation, members of the Nation of Islam from a nearby mosque began patrolling the housing project in Northeast Washington in an effort to drive out crack and cocaine dealers. The dealers, residents say, had converted Mayfair Mansions' central courtyard into an open-air drug market.
