American Gangster Put Frank Lucas In Bumpy Johnson's Death Scene - Bumpy's Widow Said No

In July 1968, Bumpy Johnson, Harlem's most famous gangster, collapsed at Wells Restaurant while out on bail and under federal indictment. Thirty-nine years later, American Gangster showed his death in a discount electronics store, with Frank Lucas beside him. Lucas said he was there. Bumpy's widow, Mayme Johnson, said Lucas was nowhere around. This is the real, documented story of three accounts of Bumpy Johnson's last night, and what each one actually rests on.
