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

Salvatore Nicolette injured

Salvatore Nicolette, a thirty-two-year-old white resident of the Bronx, suffered a fractured skull during the disorder. There is no information on how, when or where he was injured. As with a number of those listed only as having been injured, Nicolette had similar head injuries to those who had been assaulted and could himself have been attacked.

Nicolette appears only in the lists of the injured published by the AA, AW, and NJG, and the Am, HT and NYP. The AA, AW, and NJG included him in lists of the “Critically Injured” or those “Near Death.” (The HT appears to have mistakenly headed the same list “The injuries of the following were not considered serious”).  Only the HT identifies Nicolette as white. The heading for that paper’s list suggests reporters had identified Nicolette as one of “Five Negroes and three white men [who] were still in Harlem Hospital” on March 21. However, he does not appear in records of those admitted to hospital.
