Go figure. And the prostitution charges against Luciano were actually false, but her efforts against the mob did give a major blow to the underworld. With Luciano put away in jail it eventually started the gradual demise of the Italian mob. This women does deserve to be recognized, hopefully this book can be adapted into a movie.

    A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hearing at a local bookstore the author Stephen L. Carter speak about his paternal grandmother Eunice Huston Carter (1899-1970). Sometime later, after the Q&A session, I had the opportunity to speak with Professor Carter as he autographed my copy of this book.
    "INVISIBLE: The Forgotten Story of the Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster" puts the reader into an era in U.S. history barely half a century behind us, when African Americans were restricted by law and what was accepted custom from realizing their full potential in what was an overtly racist America (Jim Crow segregation). Notwithstanding all that, what I found to be deeply inspirational from reading this book is learning about the life of this most remarkable woman - as well as the lives of her parents (who were both fully engaged social activists; Eunice's father with the YMCA (its 'colored' section) for whom he worked tirelessly both in the U.S. and abroad til his death in 1916 and her mother Addie was a graduate of Boston Latin School, and a college graduate who later served as a teacher and worked with a variety of organizations promoting racial and gender equality til her death in 1943) and younger brother, from whom she became estranged.
    This is a book that would be instructive (as well as inspirational) to any reader who wants to learn about the value of living -- in spite of the obstacles and challenges arrayed against someone because of their color and/or gender -- a purposeful, committed life wholly dedicated to advancing socio-economic justice, as well as racial and gender equality.

I am white and older and i always hurt deep inside when i think about what those good people went through being colored in a white world. I stick up for the oppressed always reflexively. Fight the racists, always fight them. Fight them hard. Fight. Thanks Eunice you go girl!

    So much of our history is hidden. We fought in wars, we invented, we were cowboys, we were 1st in a lot of things and I'm still learning everyday about our history. I will continue to search for the truth and tell my children and hopefully they will tell their children so that our history does not just get swept under a rug and forgotten!!! We are amazing and deserve to have our stories told!#BLACKHISTORYFOUND
