"Light the Dark Streets is written by the [Episcopalian] Vicar of St. Augustine's Chapel, on Henry Street in the heart of New York's Lower East Side. The story Father Myers tells often is not a pleasant one, but it is a compelling one nevertheless. It is the story of a great love of mankind bringing light to an area filled with the darkness of human misery of every kind. It is, of necessity, a personal story, for he has lived and worked closely with those he and his associates are trying to help.

"Henry Street is a slum area, overcrowded, poverty-ridden, and a breeding ground for tensions of all kinds. Yet it is home for nearly a quarter of a million people of all colors, races, and creeds - among them a gang of Negro boys who called themselves the Knights.

"Father Myers tells the individual stories of some of the members of the gang, what they felt, what influences were turning them into lawless rebels, what was done to try to help them, and the measure of success or failure. Among the problems that had to be combated were racial prejudice, sex, dope, poverty, broken homes, fear, and loneliness. He also tells the story of the gang as a unit, what brought it into existence, and the forces which motivated its actions."
