Many of us know the stories of famous criminals like Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde or the famous lawmen who helped bring them to justice. Though many might not know the story of the lawyer who was most responsible for brining down the most powerful mob boss in the world, Lucky Luciano, making the streets of New York safer and nearly propelling her boss to the American Presidency. This story would be remarkable regardless of who it was about, but because this particular lawyer was one of the only black female lawyers in 1930s America, her story is one of the most remarkable of them all.
