The August 24, 1928 Daily Worker identifies Richard B. Moore as the Communist congressional candidate in New York’s 21st District and national organizer of the American Negro Labor Congress. His published response to Reverend Thomas L. Harten discusses Black Communist candidates and the party’s campaign. The captioned portrait accompanies that political work, rather than documenting another arrest.
