Biography
Lonnie Miles is individually named among those arrested in an Atlanta raid on an interracial workers’ meeting at a private home Thursday night, May 28, 1936. The June 1 dispatch reports charges of inciting to insurrection under Georgia’s slave-era law and disorderly conduct. It says the alleged evidence consisted of Southern Worker copies, portions of the Fulton Bag Worker and the presence of both Black and white attendees. Attorney Louis Tatham was retained by the ILD; a June 5 preliminary hearing was prospective. The $90,000 bond is collective for eighteen defendants, not an individual bond. No conviction, death sentence, physical release or complete custody total is supplied.
