On Episode 37, we delve into the history of The Philadelphia Black mafia, one of/ if not the most successful African American crime syndicate of it's time, and possibly ever, and even though they started as a small criminal collective, by their height of operations in the early 70's until the early 80's, they managed to consolidate power in a huge portion of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley, controlled 60% of the heroin trade in the area, and became powerful enough to go to war with the infamous drug lord, Frank Matthews, proving to be one of the most violent crime syndicates to ever operate in America, I hope everyone enjoys today's episode and tunes back in next week for Episode 38
