This historic hood is located south of the South End and Fenway neighborhoods of Boston. This is where Malcolm X lived at a point in his life. This is also the most dangerous neighborhood in Boston. Blacks have lived in Roxbury before migration to Mattapan and Dorchester. Due to the rise of gangs in the 1980s, crack epidemic, and systemic racism, the neighborhood has went through tough times. Despite this, there had been revitalization to this part of town( ex. Nubian Square ) and crime is down compared to past decades.
