The May 21 dispatch describes police clubs and drawn pistols and says nine of the eleven arrested were Black; George is individually identified as Black. The collective racial count is not individually assigned to Sand or Lewis. Charges were inciting to riot, disorderly conduct, breach of the peace, resisting arrest and attempted assault and battery. Final disposition and complete detention duration remain unknown. Source: https://marxists.architexturez.net/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1931/v08-n123-NY-may-22-1931-DW-LOC.pdf#page=1
