Davis, Gerald W., 1949-
Gerald Davis was falsely arrested on a Sunday afternoon in October 1969, taken to jail, and spent the night there even though one police officer tried to correct the disrespectful behavior of his partner. This action led to a 3-day riot in the Black Westside community of Las Vegas. Davis was born in Las Vegas in a home at 1223 North H Street and remembers businesses like the Cove, the Louisiana Club, Hamburger Heaven, Town Tavern, and the Brown Derby, his favorite night spot even when he was too young to enter the establishment.
