Dynamic social worker and community organizer, Theodore Parrish of the South End Tenants Council, walks a tightrope as he led the group in a successful battle with a slumlord's slumlord to sell a major portion of his holdings to the tenants. A former anti-poverty director of a Department of Health, Education and Welfare juvenile delinquents program in Washington, D. C., he is also a doctoral student at Boston University.
