Biography
Leroy Davis, a Black worker active in Pittsburgh’s Unemployment Council, was beaten by police and jailed in early July 1934, according to the July 13 dispatch. The July 14 issue places him in the Blawnox workhouse serving a thirty-day sentence and announces a public trial of the officers. The report supplies no exact arrest or release day, formal statutory charge or completed duration; thirty days is the imposed term. Daily Worker, July 14, 1934, page 2.
