Summary:
This series consists of two annotated print maps of New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, the western part of the borough of Bronx, and a small portion of the borough of Queens, produced by staff of the Lusk Committee in furtherance of its objective to gather information about suspected radical groups in New York State. The maps are colored to show sections where various ethnic and racial populations were concentrated in 1919; numbers are used to show locations of both suspected radical group meetings and radical newspapers published in the city.
