Biography

Ulysses Mack was a Black worker whom the August 12, 1931 Daily Worker described as sentenced to death in Gary, Indiana after a trial relying on a confession allegedly obtained through brutal interrogation. The paper treated his case as an example of racial repression and called for defense action. The brief supplies no precise arrest or trial day, underlying statutory offense, physical release, or eventual execution outcome.
