Did you know that Black Magic was a very seedy, mafia-run bar. There were police payoffs that allowed it to operate in Greenwich Village, New York. It was raided on that late June day with bricks being thrown at police. Ironically, the community tries to use this incident to create equivalency with the Black civil rights movement. They preceded and launched the in your face activism that taken place over the years and which the media and corporate America has capitulated to.
