The Liberators - Brien A. Roche - Bog

Bag om The Liberators

FAST BOATS, STRONG LIQUOR AND AL CAPONE. July 19, 1919 rocked the City of Washington. Kluckers, supremacists and race-baiters urged on by the white-controlled media had attacked the Black enclave of LeDroit Park. The Custer brothers, Boston (Bos), Thomas and Nevin, had just returned from Northern France fighting as American Stormtroopers alongside the French. They were not about to let their home be destroyed. They fought with restraint and resolve. Unbeknownst to them, German Stormtroopers were among the attackers. The Germans had attacked the White House and kidnapped the President. The Custers and Lee Ann Custer defeated the Germans and rescued the President. With the advent of Prohibition, they were now implementing their plan of bolstering the Black business community by "donating" alcohol to the Black churches for distribution and profits. Their modes of transport were Liberator boats powered by Packard engines. The Liberators had been built for use on the waterways of Northern France in World War I. Unused for that purpose, the Custers were now putting them to good use for liquor distribution on the East Coast. A little known gangster had different plans for the Custers.
