- Note
- "Erma Louise Hill, a liberated young woman, known on the streets of Harlem as "New York Red," a celebrated Number Banker. She generated millions of dollars in revenue for her associates and the Genovese Mafia Family. She was never arrested nor convicted by New York City law enforcement authorities, she was well loved by her customers and the residents of Harlem. Then, what brought about her demise? She comes of age during the depression under difficult family circumstances in rural South Georgia. Her story begins in 1924 in Plains, Georgia. It was the same year President Jimmy Carter was born and her family occasionally worked for the Carter family. Her intellect surfaced very early in her school career. She excelled in school and her caring heart drove her to help others along the way. This concern for others was evident throughout her life."--Amazon.com.
