BRACK: Book recounts criminal life of Dixie Mafia’s Billy Birt

By Elliott Brack   |  Most people in Gwinnett may not have heard of the “Dixie Mafia.”  That is the term applied years ago to white Southern gangsters operating in several areas, though not connected to the Italian Mafia members who hung around together  operating in the northeast.  The Dixie Mafia had many illegal operations outside the law in the South.
