About the Book

Gangsters of Virtue/ The Wise Sorrowful Hearts is a true cautionary tale for the youth of this nation and the world. This is the untold story of murder, greed, lust for power and the final family betrayals in a major Washington DC Drug Enterprise in the 1960's and beyond. The street life during the founding of the Washington DC, Black Mafia by Convicted Heroin Distributor and D.C. Drug Kingpin, Lawrence W. Slippery Jackson. It tells of the Hardships, Accomplishments, sacrifices and punishments associated with drug dealing and family. It explores the Old style Drug Game to the new generation of drug dealers and the relationship between Lawrence, his father and Famous Farther, friends and siblings, his extended family, his wife Anna Mae Jackson his eight and children and his 300 to 500 member Black Mafia Organized Drug Gang. The story is told through the eyes of the youngest boy Steven Leroy Jackson of 8 siblings. http: //youtu.be/MCocM3CNkD
About the Author: Steven L. Jackson is a highly decorated US. Army Soldier from Washington DC. He graduated from Anacostia Senior High School in 1985 and traveled the eurpoean countries. I wanted to tell a spiritualy uplifting story and maybe convince one person to change. Lawrence "Slippery", Lester and Morris Jackson all paid a high price for their drug dealing crimes. Separation from the family is a tragedy that may not have to happen. Let's stop the next generation of fatherless children in our communities from giving in to crime and ignorance. The drug war and black on black youth violence must stop. These things are hurting our young and I wish that the story of my amazing family could make someone with real power look at the drug issue from another angle. Anyone can become a drug dealer. We need more Teachers, Doctors, Scientist, Mathematicians, and Lawyers not drug dealers. I hope to write on the topics I feel could have a positive influence on a child's development. Please young people please, No more killing each other. This book is dedicated to Anna Mae Jackson, Lawrence W. Jackson Sr, and Lawrence Jr., Special thanks to my loving and supportive siblings for contributions to the material and for funding for the book. Special thanks to Saint John Baptist Church for historical text contributions and family photos. God Help the future generations.
