Harlem in Disorder: A Spatial History of How Racial Violence Changed in 1935

James Connel injured

James Connel, a twenty-three-year-old man of unknown race, was injured “in some unknown manner” at Lenox Ave and 125th Street around 1:30AM. Two other individuals were injured by flying glass four blocks north at the same time, when these blocks of Lenox Avenue saw outbreaks of looting. Connel lived only a few blocks from where he was injured, at 62 West 129th Street, an area of black residences.

Connel’s injury was a laceration of the scalp, a head wound suffered by six of those injured (30%). He appears only on the list of hospital admissions, as attended by a physician from Harlem Hospital, likely in the emergency room. After being seen by the physician, Connel went home, his injury evidently not serious enough for him to be sent to the hospital.
