The Real Godfather of Harlem: Bumpy Johnson’s Rise, War & Legacy (Full Documentary)

Описание: Bumpy Johnson was not just another gangster — he was the undisputed power of Harlem, a man who stood toe-to-toe with the Italian Mafia and forced them to negotiate on his terms.

In this 37-minute true crime documentary, we uncover the real story of the Godfather of Harlem — from his childhood in the segregated South, to his violent rise through the streets of New York, his war with Dutch Schultz, his legendary negotiations with Lucky Luciano, and the betrayal that sent him to Alcatraz.

Was Bumpy Johnson a ruthless criminal…
or a protector who shielded Harlem from outside exploitation?

This film explores:
• Harlem’s underground numbers empire
• The Mafia’s failed takeover
• Guerrilla warfare in New York streets
• The betrayal that destroyed him from within
• His return as a living legend
• And the legacy that still divides history

This is not a glorification of crime — it is a historical examination of power, race, loyalty, and survival in a system designed to exclude Black men from authority.

If you’re fascinated by true crime documentaries, gangster history, Mafia stories, or the real figures behind Hollywood legends, this story belongs in your watchlist.
