And there are huge personalities in this underground, from Dutch Schultz to Luck Luciano. But Stephanie St. Clair stands out for a number of reasons. From her work with the Harlem Numbers Racket, to her refusal to back down from anyone, Stephanie St Clair truly earned the name Madam Queen. ___________ Support the people who make this show, vote for future Extra History topics, and get great perks at our Patreon! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Subscribe & ! to our channel on YouTube at http://bit.ly/SubToEC Got more info about Extra Credits on our website at http://extracredits.site/ Grab your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://extracredits.store/ ___________ Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!

Calling it a 'numbers racket' makes me think of the numbers yelling loudly at one another.

Great video! (Albeit with a missed opportunity to dress Zoe as a gangster.)

When Schultz proposed hitting Dewey, ‘Gurrah’ Shapiro voted for it. Lepke Buchalter was opposed. After the Dutchman died, Dewey targeted Lepke, getting him into the chair. Shapiro, also in Sing Sing at the time, smuggled a note saying ‘I told you so!’

Another amazing, and surprisingly positive story. :)
