You play as Jamal, leader of the freedom fight group stationed on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard inside the abandoned Apollo theater.
Aha. Ahahah. AHAHAHA.
You totally got that from
Walter Dean Myer's "Scorpions" novel. Kind of a cowinsidence (SP?) as we just finished reading in for a novel study.
The main character of the book was "Jamal Hicks", the younger brother of Randy hicks, a thug leader in the Scorpions gang. Randy was sent to prison after shooting a man in a store, as he was high on COCAINE. He asked Jamal to take over the scorpions, but Jamal is only 12 and his best friend Tito does not agree with it. Mack, one of the main guys in the Scorpions, gives him a .45 Caliber Pistol. That weapon eventually saves his life.
Also, the novel was based in Harlem. Ahaha.
