In the explosive second season of Godfather of Harlem, Bumpy Johnson wages a brutal war against New York's powerful Italian crime families for dominance over the incredibly profitable, and deadly, "French Connection" heroin pipeline stretching from Marseilles to New York City. Building a distribution network encompassing prominent Black crime figures from across America, Bumpy draws inspiration from his friend Malcolm X's philosophy of Black economic empowerment. However, his ambitious scheme encounters fierce opposition not only from the Italian Mafia, but also from his wife Mayme, daughter Elise, rival Adam Clayton Powell Jr., District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, and even Malcolm X himself. Set against the vibrant and volatile backdrop of 1964, Godfather of Harlem once more powerfully depicts the turbulent intersection of organized crime and the Civil Rights Movement.
