Our schools dont teach our children about the REAL HISTORY of AMERICA!!! I'm part Seneca Iroquois, every I was taught in school was a lie. They never even taught us that the constitution was written with the same laws my ancestors of the 6 nations had!! Our country is a big fat lie.
Imagine giving the only black person (a woman at that) the least priority tasks, and it turns out it’s the ONLY and biggest evidence that brings the house down!
Myra Jefferson : Right. I will the book Eunice grandson wrote regarding her accomplishments as a Black Woman. Thanks for the lnfo regarding the movie. ✊👍💪🌻😊
It's amazing but yet sad how alot of contribution of black people and women have been hidden from society for so long. It's about time that the truth about all Americans are coming to light. Keep up the great work and let's keep searching and bringing these contributions to life.
I would love for a director like Ava DuVerney to bring Eunices Carter's story to the big screen or make a mini-series out of life story. This is the history that America tries to erase from the history book.
Amazing woman.. It always bugs me that we have to accidentally stumble upon stories like this and learn them for ourselves.. This history should be in school history books! Not only does it help black women but ALL women to see that yes, YES, YOU CAN DO IT!!
We as black people need to STOP playing this game of women against men. We are not on EQUAL footing in AMERICAN society to be playing sexist games. A triumph for a BLACK MAN OR BLACK WOMAN is a triumph for us all! Considering that the "powers that be" WANT US ALL ignorant to any accomplishments that we made ir make unless "they" deem it worthy to mention. Remember in history class we were slaves then some how we jumped to MLK, (civil rights), and nothing in between or after civil rights. At least that's all "I" remember about our place in American history being taught in history class!
@@l.c.1704 hear, hear! That wasn't the only gap I noted in school history either - here I am nearly 3 decades later, and I'm thinking this spotty history is taught on purpose!
That would be a great idea.. It has always bothered me that in order to learn about things like this I had to accidentally stumble upon it and learn it on my own..
Now none of us should wonder what "white washing history" is. Let's add this to Hidden Figures, Enemies in Love, The Yellow Rose of Texas Emily D. West and the biography of Bass Reeves. And that's just off the top of my head.
Hidden Figures was still washed also. Because they washed out black men in the movie and they had a bigger role than the women. They created most of the stuff that they gave black women credit for.
I'VE LEARNED A LOT THAT HISTORY IN SCHOOLS WASN'T TOLD, AND PEOPLE( SO CALLED SUPERIOR(YEAH RIGHT) DON'T WANT IT TOLD. BECAUSE PEOPLE OF COLOR INVENTED AND DID SO MUCH. UNLESS YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO RESEARCHES IT. I ENJOY LEARNING. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO. GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON TELLING THEIR STORIES. 👍
@@newstyouknowof - Well if you talking about the black men who had sex and father these three women featured in the film, okay then. Beyond that your are wrong.
@@nialcc LMAO. look up Edwin O Foster, Kelvit E Shaw, Dr. Lewis B Grant, Haynes Ellis Jr., Dr Charles W Balknight, Crawford George, Dr George W Reed, Remer C Prince, Hugh M Brown, Earl Anthony, Dr. Leon Moss. Look those guys up. Her little mathematical accomplishments would have meant nothing if these guys didn't create everything. But no they saught to cut black men out. They cut black men out and through in yall supposedly wanting to sleep with white guys and also Kevin Costner telling the person they can use the bathroom and more which the women said both were extreme lies. They hoed yall and through their agendas in. Are yall tired of being used yet. smh stop it. Yeah that black man fathered them and other black men the reason why she even was even needed.
Her brother was a communist? Really? Sounds like to me he was a Pan-African that refused to snitch. I wanna know more about her brother. His story sounds just as interesting as Eunice.
That's awesome, these are stories that aren't told until years and years later, what a lot of black folks did, but were told that that black films never did/ contributed to anything. Or had anything.
@Craig F. Thompson That's done by design. If there are no school books including us, then that kind of makes us a 'lesser' person, or so some think. Thank God we can read and study. I thank God there are some historians Black and White that bring out truth.
but why do they use the word slaves? more than likely eunice people were here already and the 1st. haven't they heard of Lucia or the Olmecs? her family were here way before slavery implemented. black and white people(americans) are uneducated people.
Ummmm. Suppression and Racism are the tools of Demented White Supremacists. Why would people who hate you want you to know how great you are? Hundreds of years of conditioning, systematic injustice, Colorism, Threats of violence, impactful degradation and poverty did a number on so many. black excellence has always been a norm, it's just been overlooked and undervalued on Purpose. still today, whites even have a false sense of themselves. they've so called elevated themselves on an uneven playing field. It always seems like their history is extraordinary, but much came about because they killed, excluded and deprived others.
The reason we don't know our history is because we have a new set of parents who doesn't give a damn . These new age parents can recite every degrading rap song and name the rapper but know nothing about our history .
That's a stereotype. My kids are homeschooled and in college. They've been taught black history and read numerous historical books, yet we still have much to learn because our history has been suppressed. Not to mention the fact that my "old school" parents were so busy trying to make a living they barely thought about the importance of passing down our history.
Do a search on KRS-1 song called "You Must Learn" and you will see that rap music once was a tool to educate....can't blame rap for everything but I get your point. I watch mob documentaries all the time and it's an obsession but I've never heard of this woman.
Oh My God! I can Imagine the stress that she must have gone through in the 1930's being black in this position. Its hard today being black and being undermined today however, then just to exist, being black anybody who was more than a butler or a factory worker or a field hand was next to impossible. Most blacks did not even know that they could be anything of importance . It was a ruff time.
Ron Williams Black people were brainwashed to think they cant be nothing else. of course that was never true. black people taught white people most the stuff they know. but they will never admit that.
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT TOOK AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN TO TAKE ON THE MOB. I BET HER SON AND GRANDSON WAS VERY PROUD OF HER. SHE WAS A AMAZING WOMEN.YASSSSSSSS GOD YOU HAVE CREATED SOME POWERFUL WOMEN .
But it didnt take Africa American women to do it. Black men were taking them on in the streets and running circles around them and more and not just the Italian Mob but the Jewish, German, Irish and more. Stop it
It amazes me how ppl think this black woman by her self did this. Impossible. You need men on the streets to do that and she would have to be protected at all times.
I was aware of this women and how she was one of the prosecutors of luck Lucianos case, yes she was instrumental in bringing down Luciano, but the head prosecutor Dewey years latter received financial contributions from the same Italian mob he went after. 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.
The world doesn’t want to acknowledged or know the impact we have on this country. The information is out there. It’s easier to believe the worst about us as a group smh
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.
@JOE ANN COLE thank you for all the information that I never knew about. I need to research a few things and f/u with my children and grands. If you have anymore information please share..
My great grandmother Lola West took down the mayor sheriff and head of the police department in the 1940’s in Cheyenne Wyoming Very very proud of her bravery to stand up against bribery and forced prostitution etc
You better be proud too, because i am. The hard reality of the racism in life that blacks dealt with and still do. 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
What a wonderful grandson to honor his grandmother by bringing her story out of obscurity. I don't know why this woman's story and accomplishments were not taught to everyone in school.
This was very interesting that my great great uncle "Lucky" Luciano whose real name was Ignacio Luciano was brought down by a strong-willed African-American woman back in the thirties. It's amazing as to how our lives are connected through history I'm definitely going to order this book I love history and I'm a reader and thank you to Mr. Stephen L. Carter, for writing this book looking forward to reading it!
Incredible!!! Kudos to our African American women of Black History. We should teach our children more about other Noble individuals that helped shape our Black Culture.👏🤲😊
Fabulous events. Powerful Black family doing their thing. I actually had someone tell me that the Cosby show characters couldn't exist in the 80's. We really really need these true stories circulated.
The incredible has happened again and again and we would never know it's happened unless people reveal it. These things need to be taught in school. There is so much more of our history that we don't know.
So with all the she accomplished through all those barriers its the split between her and her brother that seemed to have caught his eye the most, wow.
So many hidden stories like this go unnoticed

Wouldn't it be nice if Hollywood made movies with these kind of stories, instead of constantly recycling super hero movies?!
They are a footnote to history until it comes to light they are part of the human struggle who happens to be blacks
They probably let her do it in case of retaliation.

Linda Mitchell Now that would be awesome....
HIS Story , not Ours.
I think it should be Spike Lee, Bill Duke, Mario Van Peebles or someone like Debbie Allen should direct a film about her.
I messaged her about another story. But a really sad one. But I don't think she saw it.

Exactly. She was working for the man. The FBI was an enemy of black people.
