When twenty-year-old Walter Brooks was found dead from a bullet to the head on Valentine's Day 1902, suspicion immediately fell on Brooks' nineteen-year-old sometimes-girlfriend, Florence Burns. The two were known to have a tumultuous relationship and had fought violently on the morning of his death, and there was considerable evidence indicating that Burns had been in the hotel room at the time of Brooks' murder. However, despite all the evidence indicating guilt, Florence Burns was never brought to trial for Brooks' murder or even formally charged with a crime, and Walter Brooks murder officially remains an unsolved case in New York.While the story of Walter Brooks and Florence Burns is relatively uncomplicated in terms of the crime around which the story is built, the story is a remarkable illustration of the ways in which things like class, gender, and technological advances can influence and even shape how the law is applied in the United States. Indeed, at the time of the murder, the nation was undergoing incredibly social and cultural changes as a result of dramatically expanded transportation and communication technology, giving rise to a youth culture the likes of which had never been seen in the nation prior. That youth culture and the rebelliousness it produced in many young wealthy Americans played a direct role, not only in Walter's life and death, but also in the socio-cultural perspectives and Victorian beliefs that allowed Florence to get away with murder.Thank you to the wondrous Dave White of Bring me the Axe Podcast & 99 Cent Rental for Research!ReferencesEvening World. 1902.

Walter Brooks, President and CEO of Brooksmade Gourmet Foods, found it easier to expand internationally with his specialty BBQ Sauces than to sell more in the competitive domestic US market. With grants and supports from the US government available for all small and mid-sized businesses, he was able to secure $10 million in business with an investment of about $100k. Calculate the ROI on that! Listen to this episode to hear how he did it!

I'm excited invite you to my conversation with Walter Brooks Jr. Walter is a serial entrepreneur and the owner and operator of Brooksmade Gourmet Foods - a global food company specializing in clean-label, locally sourced sauces & rubs made in Georgia. Walter grew up in a large family in South Central Los Angeles. As one of nine kids, money was tight and he didn't always know where his next meal would come from. Battling food insecurity in his youth made him value good food and instilled a deep passion for cooking when he got older.Walter left Los Angeles to attend hospitality school in Georgia as a young adult. He spent many years doing various service jobs - working in hotels, as a security guard, and as a car repairman. Along the way, people recognized Walter's natural talent and drive they continually encouraged him to strive for more and build something of his own.An unexpected medical emergency gave Walter the time and space outside of work to nurture his love of cooking. After recovering, he decided to pivot and open up a catering business. From the beginning, Walter used his cooking to contribute to his community by donating to food drives, hosting community events and cooking for the homeless. It meant so much to now be in a position to give back to others. He insists that you shouldn't let the world marginalize you because of your circumstances. In Walter's words: “Just because I wasn't better off, that doesn't mean I was less than.”Walter is deeply passionate about giving back to the next generation and credits mentorship as a vital component of his success. In addition to running his business, he mentors the next generation of entrepreneurs and works closely with organizations such as 100 Black Men of America. In our conversation we speak about what hurdles he had to overcome to believe in himself, the valuable guidance he received along his path, and how he defied expectations. Walter offers some really powerful advice on ways to avoid self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. Walter is mentor to many, and credits his own success to mentorship. I hope you find value in his words, perspective, and generous spirit.This is a story about the power of mentorship, humility, and how generosity can lead to prosperity.To read his full feature visit: www.urbanexodus.com/blog

In 1902 New York City, a group of wealthy young men, known as the Bedford Avenue Gang, spent their free time terrorizing their neighborhood - including drinking, stealing, fleecing businesses and seducing women. After gang member Walter Brooks, began dating one of the gang's groupies, a badly behaved young woman named Florence Burns, he ended up murdered in a seedy downtown hotel. Virginia A. McConnell, author of The Belle of Bedford Avenue: The Sensational Brooks-Burns Murder in Turn-of-the-Century New York, is my guest on this episode. She tells the story of Florence Burns, the Bedford Avenue Gang, and how the "Unwritten Law" helped determine whether justice would ever be served in the murder of Walter Brooks.
