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

John Hall injured

John Hall appears just in lists of those injured published by the New York Evening Journal, New York Post and the New York American. The Evening Journal and American identified Hall as a black man, one of only two among the injured (although the race of only five of the twenty injured individuals appears in the sources). The only other information the newspapers provided on his identity was his home address, 2155 Seventh Avenue, between West 127th and West 128th Streets, an area of black residences near the southern boundary of Harlem.

All the listings describe Hall's injury as a fractured leg. The American and Evening Journal add the detail that he was attended at Harlem Hospital, but he does not appear in the hospital records obtained by the MCCH.
