    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

Cleveland, Detroit, Newark, and Minneapolis have all merited extensive studies of Jewish gangsters. Chicago, with its much larger Jewish population, has not. Perhaps the dominance, notoriety, and public image of Al Capone has dissuaded potential researchers. Until now. This is not to say that no studies of Chicago’s Jewish underworld exist. They do. In 1927, Frederick Thrasher wrote The Gang, which includes material showing that, alongside the Polish, Italian, and Irish mobs, up to five per cent of the city’s gangs were Jewish.

Ma quella sera, uno sparo nel buio, un'ombra che si dilegua, uno sconosciuto che muore nella sua casa.
