Biography
Anderson McPerkin, a Black unemployed worker, was reportedly arrested after seeking food at Crescent Springs and accused of rape. The May 12 report says he was held incommunicado in the Covington county jail, with appointed counsel delayed three weeks and trial indefinitely postponed. The newspaper challenges the accusation; that challenge is attributed, not an independent finding. Daily Worker, May 12, 1930, page 3.
