What readers are saying about The Noodge.
-
“This book tells the remarkable story in Joyce’s own words, a spellbinding tale of interracial solidarity, deep organizing, and the ceaseless struggle for justice and civil rights.”
Congressman Jamie Raskin -
“In the turbulent 1960s, a group of caring, committed neighbors — African-American and white, Jewish and Christian, poor and well-off—bonded together to save an historic Black community from disappearing. Their remarkable story has valuable lessons for all of us today.”
Knight Kiplinger Editor Emeritus, The Kiplinger Letters and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine -
“Authentic...caring...behaving in a conscionable manner… Apt descriptions of Mrs. Joyce Siegel. She refused to ‘sit on the sidelines’ and watch unsympathetic forces seek to displace or marginalize a low-income community of hard-working, aspiring citizens. Mrs. Siegel’s heart of love and determination resulted in success by making ‘Good Noise,’ by The Noodge herself.”
James Brown CBS Sports -
“Joyce Siegel is an incredible woman who formed partnerships with the residents of the Scotland community and other community leaders that changed American history. Her latest partnership with Paul Tukey has produced this page-turning book that documents her story and serves a model for future activists.”
