Hoodlum (1997) **

Evil white gangsters, led by Dutch Schultz (Roth), want to take over Harlem's numbers racket, but local black gangsters, led by Bumpy Johnson (Fisburne), find an ally in Lucky Luciano (Garcia) and manage to defend their turf. Clear parallels are drawn between that vicious gang warfare of the 30's and the a noble civil-rights struggles of the 60's, with Bumpy Johnson presented as Martin Luther King, Dutch Schultz as the Ku-Klux-Klan and Lucky Luciano as JFK.
