Thank you all for establishing the museum and civil rights center in honor of Richard Wright. And thanks to Julia Wright for letting me know about the project and for her tireless efforts to right the wrongs of history. This work of recovery and preservation is so very important in these fraught times. I live in Flatbush, Brooklyn, where similar efforts are being made to reimagine the history of Lefferts Historic House, built by the slave-owning Lefferts family, and to preserve and commemorate the Flatbush African Burial Ground. I also teach at a campus a block away from Fort Greene Park, where Wright drafted large parts of Native Son sitting by the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. Please earmark my contribution for the Silas Hoskins Garden.

juia Thanks, Deborah. Our writing creates roots of action and as a friendly gardener just wrote to me "roots don't die". Love, Julia

I wish I had millions to give but I do have my revolutionary activism and my voice that will never die but live on in my children.

The trauma that African-Americans suffered in Elaine AR (and so many other places) has been ignored for far too long. The victims and their descendants deseve to have the truth finally told.
