Public Scholars Program wordmark
NJCH wordmark

Nucky Johnson, Prohibition Era …

Nucky Johnson, Prohibition Era political boss and gangster, is often associated with Atlantic City. Join Nucky as he shares his experiences, which will help audiences gain a much broader understanding of the history of AC in the decades prior to the modern day casino city. He’ll share his tales, which will shed some light on early 20th century politics and debates over suffrage and what Prohibition was really like, especially for him and his business connections. The interactive conversation will examine his crimes and community endeavors.
