“As Chicago work its way into a snow-free community, 69-year-old Al Wynn is daily working on the re-releasing re-releasing of his 2008 bestselling book A Pimp and a Hustler,” Darnell T. Glover writes.

“During Mr. Wynn’s life time he has rubbed shoulders with aldermen, congressmen, judges, and the top notch gangsters of Chicago. Most of them were head gang lords in the late sixties. He had several narrow escapes with his life.”
*
“After Al graduated from the University of Hard Knocks USA, he became a successful entrepreneur in real estate, restaurant, roofing contractor, construction and general contracting.”

From the original release:
“Last month (May 2008) Ron Carter, Chair of the Black Wall Street Economic Summit V opened the Friday night reception holding a copy of the book A Pimp and a Hustler by Al Wynn, who was in attendance,” the South Street Journal reported. “The book title”s significance lay in the fact that the Summit was established on May 19th of last year, in honor of Malcolm X”s birthday, who Carter noted, ‘once was also a pimp and a hustler.'”
