Hush Money tells a story that is all too familiar to Black people across the globe with the case study of Ebony, a young Black woman who was living in poverty, struggling financially, and finding it hard to make ends meet. It describes how she obtained a job with an organization, after years of working dead end jobs, that put her one step closer to living the American dream.

Systemic Racism- Engaging read!
Reviewed: 06-08-22
The story was written and performed well. The events are said to be inspired by true events. It is full of incidents of micro aggressions and out right racism, but the storyline is engaging and keeps you rooting for good to prevail. The main character continues to remain optimistic through it all. I sincerely hope some of the incidents are dramatized for effect.

Story5 out of 5 stars 35
Through oral histories and original interviews with surviving family members, Dan Goldberg brings 13 forgotten heroes away from the margins of history and into the spotlight. He reveals the opposition these men faced: the racist pseudoscience, the regular condescension, the repeated epithets, the verbal abuse, and even violence. Despite these immense challenges, the Golden Thirteen persisted—understanding the power of integration, the opportunities for black Americans if they succeeded, and the consequences if they failed.

An excellent story of resilience!! I recommend this book for those wanting to go deeper into Black History or who wants another perspective on what it’s been like to be Black in America.

Should be required reading starting in adolescence!

This should be required reading early in life. The narrative was effective at communicating life laws for success in an entertaining and engaging way.
