November 12th, 1963. 2:30 AM. Bumpy Johnson received a call from Harlem Hospital. A dying woman named Sarah Mitchell, a schoolteacher he'd never met, had one final request: protect the 32 orphaned children living in her home.
Sarah had spent ten years taking in children who had nowhere else to go. Orphans, abandoned kids, children living on the streets. She fed them with her teacher's salary, loved them with everything she had, and built them into a family. But cancer was taking her, and she knew that when she died, child services would tear that family apart.
So she asked a gangster to make a promise. And Bumpy Johnson kept it for the rest of his life. He spent $427,000 of his illegal gambling profits to create the Mitchell House, keeping 32 children together and giving over 100 more a chance at life over the next 20 years.
This is the story of a deathbed promise that changed everything.
