They need more researchers and column writers from the other side of the tracks per say.


I agree with you about information being rehashed in different articles.
Do you know of any good books that have been written about these other known Black racketeers or do you feel there is not enough material written about them ?


Policy Kings
Black Brothers Inc
I haven't been reading other titles but those 2 are informative. And yes there's isn't much written material pre-60s due to bigotry but post-60s increase the amount of research. Yet considerable amount into Street Gangs. I would check out Almighty Black P Stones too. Their history includes a small interactions with the Chicago Outfit.


Thanks for the info.
