Book Review: "The Hustle" by Doug Merlino
Last spring I graduated from Seattle Preparatory high school, and took one last drive back to my home which was just minutes away from Rainier Beach high school. The student demographics of the two schools are polar opposites in terms of race, education, and economic status.
