Maxine Walter. “Red Top.” Harlem, 1972.
A 16 year old Millionaire who worked for Frank Matthews and Frank Lucas in the 1970’s. Red Top would come to school in fur coats, and brag to her teachers about how she could make $300,000 in a month. Red Top would take her teachers and classmates on shopping sprees as well.
Frank Matthews respected her hustle, and gave her, her own stamp on her work called “DOA.” Dead on Arrival. Her beauty was admired by the dealers, causing an issue between Peewee Kirkland and Freddie Myers.
Red Top ran with other Harlem juggernauts such as West Indian Chuck, Stevie Baker, and Cisco Kid.
Red Top was k*lled accidentally by Nicky Barnes’ bodyguard who went by the name Black Sunday, as he attempted to k*ll a man who owed Nicky money.
Nicky Barnes paid Sammy Davis Jr. to sing at her funeral, and all the big time dealers from Harlem showed up to pay their respects.
When Red Top passed away her family found $4 Million at one of her condos in Riverdale. She owned two Cadillacs, one was black on black, and the other was white with red interiors.
Red Top was 17 years old at the time of her passing.
Cincinnati!! There’s someone killing and dismembering black women, this is the second body and it needs to be discussed with your family and friends to make sure they’re vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Two is too damn many! #Cincinnati
In 1921, the 26-year-old Babe Ruth made a dapper visit to the White House, and the occasion was captured in this photograph. At the time, Babe Ruth was one of the most prominent celebrities in America, especially during the 1920s. On December 7th, 1921, he paid a visit to President Harding in Washington.
A newspaper article from that day described the encounter, stating that when Babe Ruth was introduced to the President, President Harding greeted him warmly. As Babe Ruth exited the meeting, he wore a smile even broader than the ones he had after hitting his famous home runs.
During the 1921 season, Babe Ruth had achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new record for the most home runs in a single season, hitting a total of 59 home runs. This record surpassed his previous record of 54 homers from the 1920 season, which, in turn, had broken the previous record of 29 home runs set during Ruth's 1919 season. Babe Ruth's legacy as a legendary baseball player was firmly established during this era.

Scientifically, there was an episode where we all stopped watching and never picked it back up again. I'm about to find out when it was. But at one point, we were in a CHOKEHOLD.
