Tally's Corner
In the early 1960s, a white Jewish guy went and hung out on a corner in DC with a bunch of guys the opposite color. Liebow's goal was to bring to the fore an honest appraisal of what most white folks wouldn't dare countenance: the day-to-day life of poor black people. He ended up hanging with the corner peeps for months, becoming friends with them and gradually becoming one of them, despite his post-anthropological misgivings. A textbook example of how pretty much all humanity is the same so why can't we all get along? Liebow zeroed in on family life (the original point of the work) and these guys' economic situation and that's kind of the meat of the work, but the real core is the humanity brought to your table by a dude who simply wasn't afraid to go hang tough on the corner. Simon & Burns' precursor by some decades.
