Arrested on Jan 28,1975 for New Jersey state and Federal drug violations, Frank Lucas was convicted and sentenced to 70 years in prison. After serving a nonconsecutive 14 year term, he was released in 1991 to a changed Harlem, decimated, in part, by the deleterious effects of his legacy. Today, Lucas, wheelchair-bound, fully understands the nature of his impact on his beloved NY community. His mission, now, is to amend that legacy. To the youth of the nation, he is now committed… committed to show, by example, via his Frank Lucas Foundation, that redemption is available to all, even to that venerable, retired gangster we all hate to love.
