About the book: “The Queen of Sugar Hill” tells the story of Hattie McDaniel, the first African American woman to win an Academy Award, focusing on her life after her Oscar win for “Gone With the Wind” and the challenges she faced as a Black actress navigating Hollywood’s challenging social landscape, particularly highlighting her struggles with restrictive housing covenants in a neighborhood called “Sugar Hill” where she bought a home despite facing backlash from white neighbors; the book explores her personal life, friendships with other Hollywood figures, and her fight for racial equality.
