Broadcast: June 25, 1950

One section of Chicago's South Federal Street is backed up against the railroad tracks. A treeless avenue with rows of dilapidated houses and one ancient grade school. In short, it's a section typical of the city's many slum areas. But one factor lifts this district above the others - it is the living legend of the Angel of Federal Street - Ruth Blue Turnquest.
