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

MCCH Meeting (May 7, 1935)

The only source for the MCCH meeting on May 7 was the minutes. Hays did not attend the meeting and no report from the subcommittee on crime was recorded.

Those in attendance must have discussed the hearing the previous weekend, as they voted to take further action to get Jackson Smith, the manager of the Kress store, to testify. Having already had Hays write to the Kress company management, on this occasion A. Phillip Randolph proposed they write to Mayor La Guardia requesting he write to the company "asking them to cooperate by having the manager of their 125th Street store present at the next meeting."
