Biography

Harry Robeson was arrested during the Puerto Rican sugar and waterfront strike movement. The Daily Worker of March 2, 1935, page 3, individually names him among four people arrested while leading two hundred unemployed workers supporting the strikers. It identifies Alberto Sanchez as a Communist leader. The article describes repression by the Winship colonial government and police. It does not provide exact arrest dates, an individual charge, institution or outcome. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1935/v12-n053-NAT-mar-02-1935-DW-Q.pdf
