Richard Wright Resources

C-block (Honors)

Here are some links I've gathered to help us as we read Black Boy. I will add to this list as I find relevant and interesting links:

1. Richard Wright - Black Boy: Short article about Wright and a PBS documentary made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the book's publication.

2. Blackpast.org: Thorough website about all aspects of African American history.

3. Books and Writers: Wright: Basic biography and selected works.

4. Today in Literature: Wright: Website with links to many other useful Wright pages.

5. Jim Crow Museum: Website devoted to exploration of legalized segregation laws enacted between 1876 and 1965; includes an explanation of Jim Crow laws ("What is Jim Crow?")

6. The History of Jim Crow

7. Dick and Sharon's LA Progressive: Racism in America: Journalists who collect and tag current articles dealing with racism in America

8. Winchester HS Library: Black Boy links
