For decades before the “Great Stink” of 1858, London’s poor lived in filth no human being should endure.

Only when their own comfort was violated did they suddenly discover that sewers were a moral necessity. In the Jim Crow South, Black citizens lived under a lawless regime that stole their votes, dignity, and lives. White America knew enough and chose not to know more.
