Invisible: The Forgotten Story of the Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster by Stephen L. Carter

3.0

---

Dense yet concisely written, meticulously researched historical narrative that reflects the title "Invisible" in more than just the history of Eunice Hunton Carter, Esq. It equally shines a spotlight on the invisible history of Black upper-class America, in the same way that Howard Zinn did for other ignored groups in his People's History - and is surely as important as that work. A must-read for students of African-American history as well as Women's history.
