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

William Jackson arrested

William Jackson, a twenty-eight-year-old man of unknown race, was arrested during the disorder. There were no details of the circumstances, timing, or location of his arrest other than that it occurred below West 130th Street as it was recorded in the 28th Precinct police blotter. Jackson was one of three men, together with Roger Scott and Edward Hughes, who appeared in the police blotter and in the list of those arrested for riot published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American, and Norfolk Journal and Guide. The police blotter recorded that Jackson and the other men were discharged on March 20, but their names did not appear in the Harlem Magistrates Court docket book on that date. It is therefore likely that they were not prosecuted.

Jackson resided at 223 West 122nd Street.
