Godfather of Harlem tells the fictionalised story of infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson, who in the early 1960s returned from ten years in prison to find the neighborhood he once ruled in shambles. With the streets controlled by the Italian mob, Bumpy must take on the Genovese crime family to regain control. During the battle, he forms an alliance with Muslim minister Malcolm X – catching Malcolm's political rise in the crosshairs of social upheaval and a mob war that threatens to tear the city apart." [4] Cast and characters [ edit ] Main [ edit ] The newly dominant Puerto Rican population, which reached 63,000 in 1950, continued to define the neighborhood according to its needs, establishing bodegas and botánicas as it expanded; by the 1930s [24] there was already an enclosed street market underneath the Park Avenue railroad viaduct between 111th and 116th Streets, called "La Marqueta" ("The Market"). [3] Catholic and evangelistic Protestant churches appeared in storefronts. [3] Although "Spanish Harlem" had been in use since at least the 1930s to describe the Latino enclave– along with "Italian Harlem" and "Negro Harlem" [25] – the name began to be used to describe the entire East Harlem neighborhood by the 1950s. Later, the name "El Barrio" ("The Neighborhood") began to be used, especially by residents of the area. a b "2016-2018 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan: Take Care New York 2020" (PDF). nyc.gov.

Despite this, Italian Harlem lasted through the 1970s; and even later, the Italian-American community in East Harlem remained strong in certain areas, particularly around Pleasant Avenue until the 1980s, although always shrinking.

Wherever there are neglected areas of the city inhabited by the underprivileged and impoverished, crime will so often find a way to flourish. And where crimes flourishes, gangs are soon enough born. Van Morrison's song "Contemplation Rose" from his anthology album " Philosopher's Stone" (1998) [193] Percy Sutton, "Harlemites are limited in the areas where they can seek power. The result is that, since we don't have mobility, those of us who think we have talent have to hustle within circumscribed areas. But Harlem runs on a basic political organization line not much different from any place else. The percentage of registered voters is low, but the average voter is very sophisticated. You can't get by here with what Bill Dawson pulls in Chicago on the South Side. And boss rule in Harlem today is impossible because days when politicians could control government services to grant or withhold favors is gone. We're like social service workers administering things like poverty programs or Haryou. All you can do is promise good government, give personal attention and project your personality." [7]
