Reply to comment by Satanic_Doge in Murphy liquor license plan will destroy neighborhood favorites (Opinion) by Newarkguy1836

Too bad they weren't around for Sharpe James dynasty. He kept Newark a violent wasteland for like 2 decades in order to cover up his and his cronies criminal behavior. They'd be praying for a Mayor like Ras Baraka that actually cares about this city and the people in it like we were back then.

We talked about that in class actually in the context of Cory Bookers first run for mayor in 2002. They have no idea about so much of this history, up to and including the 1967 revolt.
