Are they still active or long gone?
Because these two positions are seen as the upper management of a crime family I wondered if they were expected to earn and kick up money. Or can they more or less sit back and collect whatever cash comes up through the ranks like a boss would do? I’m sure the consigliere and underboss would probably have their own rackets as well that they can solely rely on.
Heard the name come up a few times, white guys in feds. Not sure who it refers to, what they get up to. Fill me in?
Daniel M. Jackson 1870–1929
Gambling house owner, funeral director
Daniel M. Jackson was undoubtedly the most powerful African American vice lord ever known to Chicago's black community. He was educated, thoroughly criminal, generous to African Americans in need, political, and civic-minded. Jackson, a quiet, savvy man, ran several gambling houses out of his funeral parlors; at the same time he sacrificed his own profits to help blacks that lacked money for a proper burial.
