Biography
Leonard Patterson, a Black labor organizer, was arrested the morning of July 10, 1934 after speaking for solidarity with West Coast maritime strikers at a Baltimore International Longshoremen’s Association meeting. The report says the union president struck him and both were arrested. Patterson demanded a jury trial and was released on $100 bail. The source gives no exact discharge time, formal charge or completed duration; no identity link to other Patterson prisoners is assumed. Daily Worker, July 11, 1934, page 1.
