High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Richard Nathaniel Wright (September 4, 1908 – November 28, 1960) was an American author of powerful, sometimes controversial novels, short stories and non-fiction. Much of his literature concerned racial themes. His work helped redefine discussions of race relations in America in the mid-20th century. Wright, the grandson of formerly enslaved African-Americans, was born on the Rucker plantation in Roxie, Mississippi in Franklin County, outside of Natchez. His family soon moved to Memphis, Tennessee. While in Memphis, his father Nathaniel, a former sharecropper, abandoned the family. His mother, a schoolteacher, had to support herself and her children. In 1914, Ella Wright couldnt afford to take care of her sons, and the two brothers were sent to Settlement House, a Methodist orphanage. In 1916, Wright, his brother, and their mother returned to Mississippi, moving in with Margaret Wilson, Wright's grandmother because of his mothers illness.
