African-Americans begin moving from the West End.

(ca.) Social scientist Robert Woods writes, “There are actually streets in the West End where, while Jews are moving in, Negro housewives are gathering up their skirts and seeking a more spotless environment.” In 1903, however, Woods writes, “The West End has ever been the great habitat of the colored race in Boston, and in spite of the exodus of the past few years to the South End, to Cambridgeport, and to the suburbs of the north, many yet remain, while the churches and the social gatherings bring back others who no longer have an abiding-place here.”
