Richard Wright was the popular author during my High School days, we passed his books to one to the other. I remember one of his books was so worn by the time it got to me, I read it anyway and passed it on. Once you get into it you just can't put it down.

I read nearly all of Richard Wright’s books back in college. His biograrphy, Black Boy, should be a standard selection for high school literature courses, instead of To Kill a Mockingbird. Wright also was probably the first Black author to write (his book, Black Power) about his trip to Ghana, in which he explores the meaning of power. I’m looking forward to reading The Man Who Lived Underground. It was sheer racism that it wasn’t published back in the day.

With that said, Richard Wright is one of the authors that inspired my own journey into creative writing. I've read several of his books. I had a very traumatic childhood, and Richard often wrote of childhood trauma and poverty. This is what drew me to his work as a young child. I will spend my summer revisiting his work, along with other classic Black authors.

Julia Wright thank You, father-author-actor...Richard Wright thank You, young Darmela Frazier thank You. I can't wait to read the original book. Watch the movie. I have portuguese identity documents, am living in Germany for over 50 years. I remember my school time in portugal. I was then to learn about the "great colonies" in Africa, "possessions" of that small country portugal. I never was taught about the genocide on Africans - the blood soaked hands of portuguese. I was never taught about the exploitation. I was never taught about the destruction of African cultur. I never was taught about the slave trade of Africans to the America's by portuguese. We was thought in school about the goods and treasures to be found on "our colonies". We was thought about our "superior race". I remember the revolution, 1975 in portugal. I remember witnessing the white refugees fleeing, at that time period : "independence" of the "African colonies". I remember my sweet friendships to indigenous of Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné Bissau, Timor (next to Australia). They were living in very, very poor conditions, and through day in-day out on pending deportation, back to their countries of origin. My focus then was our friendship and playtime. Less their agony and fears, poverty and discrimination. I believe portuguese of today live in denial of their rassism but still their delusion of superiority. It goes deep, the superiority delusion of us "whites". This is my frustration and the motiv, writing here. Learning Julia Wright is in portugal. An reflex of alert, protect, confort ??? Well, I guess it is not my subject to make awareness. Anybody that wants to see, it's in plain sight. Everywhere, anywhere: Xenophobia I live as an ordinary foreign worker in Germany. I have no sense of "motherland or fatherland". Does not exist in me, and I feel very good about this fact !! I watch "Demokratie Now" 👍. For Beautiful Julia Wright, I wish bright Sunshine Ray's, to enjoy and nourish. humble and sincere
