Pod Crashing Episode 301 With Nicole Perkins From The Podcast The God Mother In the 1930s, Lucky Luciano, the founder of the modern mafia, was finally taken down.   By a rookie prosecutor - Eunice Carter. Eunice was the first Black Woman to become Assistant District Attorney in New York. Immediately thrust into the limelight of American politics and criminal justice by this high profile prosecution.   But that was just the surface of her story. Underneath is a quest of ambition, of a writer, social worker, mother, teacher, sister, socialite, politician, community organizer and unheralded pioneer. Carter operated from the heart of the Harlem Renaissance to navigate the corrupt world of downtown Manhattan politics and criminal justice and the deeply racist and sexist pre-civil rights American society.   This multi-part immersive podcast tells the story of Eunice's unstoppable rise. A bad-ass anti-hero unafraid to bend the rules. To do what she felt needed to be done.   Episodes here: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-godmother-141201920/
