editHere is news of Leach's recent death. I am still doing research to add more content. https://wreg.com/2019/08/27/baxter-leach-1968-sanitation-striker-dies-at-79/
Here is an article that has more information about Leach's union and the duration of the strike. https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/memphis-1968-we-remember/
Contested deletion
editThis article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... this was a significant person in the Memphis Sanitation Strikes prior to the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. and is a significant historical figure. He also may have died recently. --Sepideh (talk) 20:09, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
