The Love Story of Bumpy Johnson, the Godfather of Harlem

Ellsworth Raymond "Bumpy" Johnson was a complex and contradictory figure, at once a ruthless gangster and a Robin Hood-esque protector of his Harlem community. Born in 1905, he rose to power during the Prohibition era, running numbers rackets and battling rival gangs for control of Harlem's lucrative underworld.

The Love Stories of Marcus Garvey, Political Leader and Famed Orator

Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican-born political leader, publisher, journalist, and orator who played a pivotal role in the Black Nationalist and Pan-African movements during the early 20th century. As the co-founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1914, Garvey advocated for the economic, political, and cultural empowerment of people of African descent worldwide.  However, most of the success of the legend of Marcus Garvey should be also attributed to his two wives, Amy Ashwood Garvey and Amy Jacques Garvey. They both played significant roles in his life and career.

The Love Stories of Pam Grier, The Real Foxy Brown

When you think of blaxploitation films, you have to think of her. Her on-screen performances in films such as "Coffy" and "Foxy Brown” made her the original baddie, if you think about it. She would evolve into a well-rounded actress, working with the likes of Spike Lee, Quintin Tarantino, Paul Newman, and the Weinstein brothers. But before she was the woman we all know and love, she was Pammy, a girl from Denver that loved the outdoors.
So yes, this episode is dedicated to the love stories of the one and only Pam Grier. Though she never married, she came close, many times — even to a few people you know.
