Show Notes
A historical account of Thedore "Teddy" Roe who couragerusly fought the Chicago Mafia aka The Outfit, for control of the lucrative Policy/Numbers racket. During the time when the mob was muscling in on the Policy/Numbers game that for decades had been a staple in the Black community many knuckled under the pressure. However, Roe was one who didn't fold. He famously told mob bosses that he'd rather die first than give up control of his operation. This book details Roe's courageous battle.
