project in Newark's Central Ward. Booker organized tenants there to
fight for improved conditions. In November 2006, Booker left his
apartment for the top unit in a three-story rental on Hawthorne Avenue
on Newark's south side, an area described as "a drug- and gang-plagued
neighborhood of boarded-up houses and empty lots."
