Five Points slum in 1800s New York was a dangerous maze of criminal alleys and their gangs in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Italian inhabitants of The Bend, Mulberry Street, suffered terribly overcrowded and squalid living conditions in its tenements. This is the story of The Bend and its alleys told by Jacob Riis, an investigative reporter who exposed previously dark and hidden corners of the city in newspapers and made a significant contribution to improvement in housing for the poor. 📣 JOIN to support the channel as a Member: 👍 Support the channel (donations): Send a Super Thanks on the video page Do you like history?
