Gangsters of Harlem: The Gritty Underworld of New York City's Most Famous Neighborhood

Product Information

The show does accurately portray the dangers of interracial dating in the early ’60s. Interracial marriage was illegal in the U.S. until the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court decision in 1967. But the love story is a fabrication—in real-life Gigante had five children with his wife Olympia, starting with his eldest son Andrew, born in 1956. All of his children, including two daughters born to his mistress, also named Olympia, would be too young to have been in their 20s during the timeframe of the show. Is the show’s Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali storyline true? After a wave of arson ravaged the low income communities of New York City throughout the 1970s, many of the residential structures in East Harlem were left seriously damaged or destroyed. By the late 1970s, the city began to rehabilitate many abandoned tenement style buildings and designate them as low income housing. Despite recent gentrification of the neighborhood, large numbers of apartment buildings have been deliberately kept vacant by their owners. Although the businesses on the ground floor are retained, landlords do not want to have the trouble involved in residential tenants. In some cases, landlords are waiting for a revived economy, warehousing the apartments so that they can rent them later at a higher rent. [51] Petski, Denise (January 8, 2019).

While they pose as a respectable, church-going family in society, they actually make a living out of holding people hostage, demanding ransom money, and murdering the victim. All of this is done right at home, with their four children taking up responsibilities as well. Directed by Luis Ortega, the series is based on the deeds of the real-life Puccio family in Argentina.
