Description: Editorial on the need for a "anti-slum weapon" in the form of the proposed housing hygiene standards. Morrison and the Northern Virginia Sun's choice of words in these articles such as lacking weapon, breeding slums demonstrate attacks on Black claims to space. By marking sites of Black geographies as slums needing to be attacked, they are viewed as dirty, violent and hostile to the greater goals of progress in Fairfax.
