1938: The Deadly Clash Between Bumpy Johnson and Meyer Lansky

The mob thought they ruled New York, but Harlem belonged to Bumpy Johnson. In 1938, the notorious mafia kingpin Meyer Lansky made a critical mistake: he squeezed a helpless widow for rent money. He thought nobody would stand up to the Italian-Jewish mob syndicate. He was wrong. Just 7 days later, Harlem’s legendary godfather, Bumpy Johnson, paid Lansky a personal visit to settle the score. This is the incredible true story of the 1938 confrontation where Harlem’s king protectively drew the line against the downtown mob, proving that some lines should never be crossed.
