Charles Parkhurst helped the state investigators sweep out the old Tammany officeholders
Preacher and social reformer Charles Henry Parkhurst was born in Framingham, Massachusetts. He was intelligent and quiet, but in 1892, he gave two sermons in which he criticized the political corruption of the New York City government. His assertions, which were backed up by the information he acquired, led to the exposure of Tammany Hall and the subsequent social and political reforms.
As president of the New York Society for the Prevention of Crime in 1891, Parkhurst, who had a deep interest in neighborhood concerns, questioned the strategies employed by the neighborhood police force. He began a fight to expose the political and social corruption of Tammany Hall.
