Stephen L. Carter of Yale Law School recently visited Bard College at Simon's Rock to discuss his book, Invisible: The Forgotten Story of the Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster. The conversation was part of the school's Book One program.
Invisible recounts the inspiring story of Professor Carter’s grandmother—Eunice Hunton Carter—a black woman prosecutor whose legal strategy led to the conviction of Lucky Luciano, the most powerful Mafia boss in history.
The Simon’s Rock Book One program asks all first-year students to read a selection by a contemporary living author over the summer, then the author of each book selected visits campus at the start of the academic year for a discussion.
