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

William Brook assaulted

William Brook a twenty-five-year-old resident of 157 West 130th Street, appeared only in lists of the injured published by five papers. The HT, Am and NYP added that he was Black. The reports all described Brook as having cuts to his head, with the HT adding the detail that he had been “hit by rock.” None of the lists specified the location at which Brook was assaulted. The HT and Am listed him as having been treated at Harlem Hospital, but his name does not appear on the lists of those attended and treated.
