1932 NEWS: Harlem Police Accused of Taking Bumpy Johnson’s Money — Could the Law Still Act?

Описание: Description
In 1932, leaked records published by the New York Herald described a Harlem where law enforcement, courts, and political offices were allegedly financed by organized crime. At the center of the claims stood Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson, whose money was said to move through precinct houses, court chambers, and political clubs with routine precision. This documentary examines how corruption was reported to function as infrastructure rather than exception, reshaping policing, justice, and daily life in Depression-era Harlem. The story explores power, silence, and the human cost of a system where accountability itself appeared compromised, raising questions that remain unresolved within American urban history and governance.
